I am so excited about this school year, because my classroom is full of wonderful, amazing children!!!  We had a fantastic first week, and I really enjoyed getting to know all of the sweet new children in my class!

Here are some of the fun activities we did during our first week:

Who Borrowed Mr. Bear?
We explored the scene of a crime, and we conducted experiments to solve a mystery!  The children took their detective work very seriously.  They investigated the crime scene and evaluated the evidence, and on Friday, we solved the mystery!

The Lion and the Mouse
We read the fable of The Lion and the Mouse, and we had a great time as we wrote poems, created projects, and studied the moral of the story.  The moral of the story is: One good turn deserves another.  Ask your child what that means!

I am looking forward to seeing everyone for our second week of school, as we begin our Language Arts and Math lessons.  We will also begin our first Social Studies unit, Amazing America!
