Our First Week

Our first week together was very full!  We got to know one another, we created class rules together, and went over many routines and procedures!

The students partnered up and interviewed each other on Tuesday.  Then as a whole class, the children each shared something they learned about the classmate they interviewed.
















On the first day of school we read our first Mr. Men story.  I apologize in advance because this series has been known to become highly addictive to 7 year olds!  It's a great way to teach higher level vocabulary, as well as talk about emotion and characters.  



This week the children worked in groups to complete 24 piece puzzles.  This was a great team building activity and the children worked very cooperatively on the puzzles!




This week we played two math games: The first was "Top It", which many children know from first grade.  The second was "Number Squeeze" which some children knew as "Monster Squeeze".  These are great games to review important number concepts.  It also gave the children a chance to practice working in partnerships and getting to know one another.











Playground fun!
