It was another great week of learning in First Grade! We continued getting to know each other, learned more classroom routines, and even made a Kindness Pledge!
During the first half of the week, we learned how to log on to our computers and join a google meeting via an email link. During Library classes Mrs. Wood has been teaching us about online safety, too. Our first all virtual Morning Meeting was a success! Great job first graders!
We learned about our new Calming Kits. We now each have our own bag with some tools in them to help us stay calm and focused. There are some fidgets as well as some other breathing and focusing tools in them. We are already finding them very helpful!
We learned about The Group Plan during our social thinking lesson this week. We read a book about what it means and practiced following a group plan by playing a storytelling game. We realized that many parts of our days require us to follow the group plan, (like read to self) but that there are still times when we get to have some choice and follow the "me plan". 😊
Writing Workshop is off to a great start! We spent time in our outdoor learning spaces doing some freewriting and drawing in our new Nature Journals. We also got our new outdoor backpacks!
We continued learning about the importance of kindness - of being kind to others but also being kind to ourselves. We made a Kindness Pledge to always try our best to be kind and spread kindness to others. We are off to a great start with this pledge!!
