Welcome All to Our Class!

Hello all! We have been enjoying our first full week of school. Students have been learning so much already. We have learned about 3 letters, A, B, and C. We have 2 "popcorn words", the and red. We sang about the color red. We have learned about different pattern blocks. We practiced one to one correspondence. We have learned "school stuff" such as the correct way to hold a pencil, how to hold and cut with scissors, where we put our names on our paper, how to WRITE our names (we're still struggling with that at this point with several :) ), where we start our letters (at the top!) We have talked about weather, the days of the week, counted pennies, counted how many days we've been in school, made our letters of the week using Play-Doh, and read a book about a little girl mouse with a VERY long name (Chrysanthemum.) We then put the letters in our name together to hang as a decoration in our classroom after we figured out who in our room had the longest name (Catherine) and how many letters were the most frequent in our names (5 letters). We have really had a busy week. I'm going home now to be zonked out for the night! Bye!
Mrs. Sztanya
