September 21
This month is going by very quickly! We have worked hard, and we are learning new things. We are learning about each other, too.
One of my favorite things to do is read, and I've read a lot of books to the kids already. They seemed to enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed them. Many of them you can get at the Vaughn Library. These are the ones I've read in the past week or so: WE ARE IN A BOOK!
READ ANYTHING GOOD LATELY?
HOW ROCKET LEARNED TO READ
HIP & HOP, DON'T STOP!
THE INCREDIBLE BOOK EATING BOY
LET'S DO NOTHING!
MISS MALARKEY LEAVES NO READER BEHIND
MISS BROOKS LOVES BOOKS! (and I don't)
The classroom book they've enjoyed the most is PETE THE CAT ROCKING IN MY SCHOOL SHOES, and my own book PETE THE CAT- I LOVE MY WHITE SHOES. There is a You-Tube video with the songs for these. Maybe your child has been singing it already!
In Religion, we have read the story of Adam and Eve in Genesis. We also learned about making choices and that includes good and bad choices. Yesterday we did the Chapter 2 Test by playing a game. Two "contestants" would be up, and I'd give the question. The answer choices were on the mimio board. Each contestant had a light to push to be the first to answer. They had a blast! We'll probably do that next week, too.
In Math, we are working on subtraction. We practice the fact families while doing the lessons. They need to know their addition and subtraction facts through 20.
Have a great weekend!

September 5, 2012
It was a great first day! We began our year with an all school liturgy which is a wonderful way to begin our year!
I read several books - and we had discussions on them. We talked about good manners, respect, listening, ( which went right along with Father's homily today!), and bullying. We reviewed the lunchroom and playground rules, and we reviewed the fire drill and tornado drill information, too.
Thank you to all who sent in the papers I'd given out yesterday! Many remembered the money for their planners, too! :-) If you didn't remember, please send it in. Thanks!
I wanted to include a class picture from today, but this is a new format for the blog, and I need to figure it out again.
Have a good evening!
