Two days of first grade have flown by in a whirlwind of excitement! We have been very busy getting to know one another, our new classroom, and Mrs. Guinn's class rules and expectations. It is a very busy time of year, but I'm doing my best to keep it lively and exciting as well! So far, we've learned a lot about each others names, used Kevin Henke's book Chrysanthemum to discover it's okay to be different, and interviewed one another so we can learn new things about our classmates. We've also reviewed tally marks and counting by 5!

"When an adult gives you directions, you say 'okay' and do it right away." Super!
