Learning more and more

V.L used his poetry notebook

This week we learned how to use more materials in the classroom. We explored different writing tools as pens, pencils, crayons and colored pencils. We worked on learning how to handle and use books as well.

This was a great week for our class. We learned new things and explored different materials. We were able to play more on the playground, learned the routines for reading and writing workshop and even were able to work on our first poem Twinkle, Twinkle in our poetry notebooks.  Students are beginning to learn how to interact more with each other and they are already making friends through play, activities in class and reading. We are going slow in the beginning before we get to centers and more in the classroom to help the students have a successful school year.  We even were able to explore the special reading corner this week!

M and V.L. read during reading workshop in the reading corner.

Also some other teachers as Mrs. Dubin helped us throughout the week to help us get used to the routines of being in school.
