Welcome to grade one/two!
Hello and welcome to grade 1/2 room 8. I am so excited to have this communication tool available so that you are able to see what is happening in our classroom. Please feel free to share with me any ideas or suggestions that you may have that you feel you or your child may like to contribute to our learning. This will help to make further connections between home, our community and school.
As the year progresses the students will be taking on a greater role in contributing to our blog.
Today was a terrific first day. All of the students were super excited to dive right into their learning. Here are a few snapshots.
To help us share an experience from our summer, the students were introduced to using loose parts as a way of first representing thier ideas prior to orally telling or writing down their ideas.

"Together we are better" was the statement we discussed as a springboard to understanding how we can work as an entire classroom community in order to have greater success. The book Swimmy by Leo Lionni was shared and discussed to help us develop a greater understanding of what this means. Swimmy Deep in the
sea lives a happy school of fish. Their watery world is full of wonders, but
there is also danger, and the little fish are afraid to come out of hiding . .
. until Swimmy comes along. Swimmy shows his
friends how—with ingenuity and teamwork—they can overcome any danger.
