First Week

We made it through the first week. Even though it was only three days, I was very tired by Friday afternoon. I have a feeling there were some fourth graders feeling the same way! I think we had a great week! I am excited for this school year. I can tell already that they are anxious to learn and ready to work hard. They did everything I asked and worked hard to their best!

So far, they have had Art and Music. We will have PE on Mondays and Tuesdays. Library will be on Tuesday, as well. We did go to computer on Friday. I introduced a website that they loved! It is http://www.coolmath4kids.com/. I have a link on the blog for it. Some of the kids were going to ask if they can do it at home. :)

I snapped a few pictures of them during SSR (Sustained Silent Reading). They really like being able to get cozy around the room with a good book and just relax and read. Of course, I did have to sneak a math test in as well. It was just a pretest to give me some information but I was impressed with how hard they worked.

We also did an activitiy called "Crumple Girl". It is meant to help us think about how doing or saying hurful things makes a person feel. It was really neat. Ask your kids to explain it to you.

I will continue to take pictures of different activities that your kiddos are doing throughout the year. If you didn't see your child on this blog, don't worry. If I have permission, everyone will be on here several times. I hope you enjoy seeing what your kids are actually doing at school!
