We had a very busy first week of school. The students are settling in and becoming comfortable with the routines of our classroom. I am very proud of all of the students. They have been working hard each day and they seem to be very proud of their accomplishments.

Our classroom walls are beginning to be covered with samples of students work. Last week the children really enjoyed making their self portraits. They look great! Please feel free to pop by anytime to have a look.

This week we will be starting our spelling program. The words will start off quite easy for some students but will increase in difficulty as the weeks go on. Many students know these words individually however they seem to have difficulty applying this knowledge in their daily writing. We will also be continuing to work together to build a bank of high frequency words which will be added to our Word Wall each week. It will be expected that all words from our Word Wall be spelled correctly in their daily writing. The students have written the words in their planner and there will be a test on Friday.
