Our 1st Week of School!

What a wonderful group of kids we have!  Our 1st week of school was a blast!  We spent most of our time having fun and learning about the rules and procedures of the classroom. August 001Each morning we start our day completing our morning centers.  This keeps us busy learning while all our friends are arriving to school. August 002 August 003  August 005

We spent some time exploring all our centers. We have a total of 10 centers and go to 5 each day.  In the science center we measured the volume of containers to see which one held the most rice. August 006 We did some awesome reading in the reading center. August 011

We ended our week by reading “Hedgehog Goes to School” and then we had a visit from Ms. Waltman’s class pet, Fluffy the hedgehog!  August 040

Some of us were a little unsure about Fluffy, so we decided to watch from a distance.
