Today we learned how to use Dry Erase Markers. We added our own new tool to our pencil box. We learned not to press down on them or they will be ruined. We also got our first "Done Choice" (choices we have when we finish our work before others). It's our namecards. We are going to be working a lot on writing our names the correct way!
Pretty good tries for a first day!
We also compared some of our names. We talked about what is the same and what is different about them. We counted the letters in our name. Then we recorded how many letters were in our names on our blue card. We cut apart our names and we will do even more with them tomorrow!!

Our 2nd morning sentence! Today, Amare blew me away when he came up and wrote the word see from memory. For those of you who are new to school, we learn snap words or high frequency words by heart. We're supposed to know 20 by the end of the year....but, honestly, most higher readers easily know over 40 words. These are simple words that you can't sound out: Words like I, the, my, is, like, etc.

We read, Howard B Wigglebottom Learns to Listen. This was a GREAT book for the second day. It's very hard remembering not the blurt out or interrupt. That's how we communicate at home, but not at school. We're going to see if we can get better at this each day and earn a classroom cheer.
We earned a cheer today by receiving a compliment from a 1st grade teacher! She said we were so quiet in the hallway!!! Whenever our WHOLE TEAM earns a compliment, we get to cheer. When we get to 5 cheers, we earn special K02 time.
