i can't believe it's friday

Can you believe the first week of first grade is over already?  I can't!  Today was action packed and full of fun.  First we learned to shop for books in the library.  We practiced building our "read to self" stamina and selected books to keep in our own browsing boxes.

Then we explored our math manipulatives.  We were doing math without even realizing it.  What looked like playing was really sorting, categorizing, counting, and pattern building.  We also practiced writing our numbers.  This year we're working with numbers all the way up to 120.

We love first grade!  Thanks for a wonderful first week!
