Rollin' Right Along!

Well here we are on Day 4 of the school year and we are all adjusting well. We started our ELA centers today with just a few centers. The students did computer, writing and reading centers. Soon, they will also do SmartBoard and grammar/spelling centers too.

The kids are getting used to the rules of the classroom. They often need reminders to work quietly but they are getting better at that!!

They are enjoying the SmartBoard and the activities we have done with it!

Please return any forms that were sent home on the first day of school. I need them to put together the Classroom Address Book and to know whose pictures can be included on the Classroom Blog on the internet.
