Our First Day of School

We had a great day today!  After talking about the rules of Wesley School and getting our books organized, we read a book called Pete the Cat Rocking in my School Shoes.  The class loved it!  We also sang Pete's song and made puppets of Pete.  Our puppets enjoyed rocking out with us.  We practiced writing the letters l and i correctly.  Some of us need to work on using the correct pencil grip.  Bad habits need to be broken!  This year we will be learning cursive and it will be difficult to do if we do not know how to correctly hold our pencils!  We learned about our classmates and shared things we found out about them.  At the end of the day, we wrote about what we are looking forward to in second grade.  You will be able to read the paragraphs when you visit on Curriculum Night. 

I am looking forward to spending a fantastic year with your children.  Thanks for sharing them with me!
