Fall Into First Grade!

WOW! It is amazing how fast this year is going already. Normally I will try and blog once a month to update you on what is going on in our classroom but the beginning of the year is always a little crazy!!! :) We kicked off the year with an assembly that revisited our bucket filling theme from last year. We are really stressing this year how EVERYONE has a bucket that needs to be filled. If you haven't checked it out yet go and read the book, "Have You Filled A Bucket Today?" by Carol McCloud.

We have had a BUSY last few weeks. Last week was homecoming week at the high school and we were able to go and enjoy the parade on Friday afternoon.

During writing and after lunch we have been reading Pete the Cat books. Pete the Cat has his very OWN website that you can check out with your kids.
