We went to the Nature Center for the first time and it was a blast. We loved working with Mrs. Callahan. She knows so much about nature. 

Today, our buddies visited our classroom for the first time. We met our 4th grade buddies and did a fun project. We also started to share some of our All about me bags. 

Day 4 is done and we ended our week getting to know our new friends. We were paired with people from our class and we asked each other different questions. It was so much fun. Ask your surfer to tell you about their new friend. We also learned about choosing good fit books and got to pick books for the very first time. We are excited to become better readers! Finding the right fit book! Good fit books Our New Friends My new friend Cooperative Learning Someone is happy about her new friend! Happy belated birthday Aubrey. We finally celebrated!

What a day it was at Farrington Bay! We began using our iPads by working on sharing. Our focus was team/group work to find different places in the classroom. It was so much fun learning how to work on the iPad. Also, we continued to practice read to self and began working on our 'first grade' handwriting. I was impressed. Ask your child to show you the right way to hold a pencil. iPad Scavenger Hunt Working as a team Working with our pattern block templates So much fun! Trojan Pride in the hallways!

Today was another good day and we spent time getting to know each other better. We began practicing our read to self routines, learned about our teachers and friends, practiced our daily routines, and did a fun project to celebrate the differences in our community. Our classroom is filled with bucket fillers who are motivated to get better every day. I already saw a difference between day 1 and 2. Day 3 is going to be even better!  Building our stamina Learning about each other! Monster Squeeze We might be different, but we make one big community

Today was our first day and it was amazing! We had so much fun getting to know each other and learning our school routines. I was very impressed with how quickly everyone began to learn our routine. We spent a lot of time learning about how we can fill each other's buckets. We ended our day learning about how it is okay to be different. Our final project was to make self portraits to celebrate our differences. They turned out pretty great! We can't wait for tomorrow to learn more about our classroom and friends!
