Getting to Know You

This first week of school has been all about getting to know each other and establishing the routines of school.  Although parts of our day like "Literacy", "Reader's Workshop"  and "Math Menu" don't play out exactly how they will in the weeks to come, we are still marking these periods of the day with the predictable formats they will always have- coming together for a mini lesson followed by time to practice the concepts and skills with materials either on the rug or at tables.  Of course we also took time to pick in the garden and swing- both great ways to practice our Core Values (taking care of ourselves, each other and the environment).  Have a look! You will see Ms.Lamphier, our Math Coach introducing Dominoes.  She is one of the many teachers your children will learn with this year.
