An Exciting First Week of School

We had a fun, eventful first week together.  We started out the week getting to know each other by doing some team-building activities.  


One activity we did was Find a Friend.  We played some groovin' music, and when the music stopped, students had to find a friend and sign their name next to a characteristic that described them. 



Then we completed a classroom scavenger hunt to learn about the different areas of our classroom.


We explored our materials, like the first grade math manipulatives. 










We practiced our reading stamina for our Read to Self stations for Reader's Workshop.  




Finally, we participated in the school RODEO, where we learned the ROPES of OB.  Students went to to a total of 19 stations all around the school to learn about our school.  At each station, we received a puzzle piece.  We put our puzzle together with all 19 pieces!  




We had an awesome first week in 1st grade!


Welcome to the 2015-2016 School Year

Meet our fun classmates!
