During our first week of school, students were busy learning the class and school rules, as well as the rituals and routines of our school day. Most of the girls and boys did an outstanding job of listening and following the directions. Now that we have begun our second week of school, the class is getting accustomed to our daily schedule. We start each day with Math Workshop, and Reader's Workshop follows. Then we go to lunch from 10:50-11:20, followed by recess on the playground. After a drink of cold water and our STAR book, we finish the day with Science or Social Studies, Skills Block (generally Phonics), and Writer's Workshop. Please note that Ms. Anthony, an ESE teacher, comes to help out in our classroom each day during Reader's Workshop, and again during Writer's Workshop.
This week, we begin our Resource Classes. On Monday mornings the children go to either Music with Mr. Barnes OR Art with Miss Reiger. Every other Tuesday morning they go to the Media Center (Library) with Mrs. Merritt. Every Thursday afternoon, the class goes to Physical Education with Mrs. Brown-Smith. We will have an opportunity to visit our Computer Lab each Friday morning, beginning in about a month.
