Week of August 13-15

 We had a great first day of school!  We are busy learning routines and procedures to help us to be successful in first grade!

 

 We worked hard on writing what we did over the summer.

 We also learned a fun math game called Top-It.

 We learned two class rules and brainstormed some examples of how we might be hurtful or disruptive.

 We learned how, instead of tattling, to use an "I Message."  An "I Message" has words for us to use that can help express our feelings when we are feeling overwhelmed by them.  We also learned that, when we need to apologize, we don't just say "I'm sorry."  Try practicing this with your first grader at home!
