We Survived Week #1!

Our very first week of school for 2013/14 was great fun!  Thank you parents for helping your child begin the school year so successfully!  Your children are getting an idea of what First Grade is like by learning many new expectations, responsibilities and rules all around the school!   Here is a peek into a few things we did this week!

We made a headband saying "First Grade is Totally Cool" and took our very first class picture!

We looked at all our books in our desks and read stories from our "Red Reader".

We all wrote about the First Day of school and some of us got to share our fabulous writing!

We got very excited by the end of the week when our iPads FINALLY arrived!  We found out who has an iPad at home and who does not -- that way we know who our iPad "Experts" can be!!!  We learned MANY rules about becoming a responsible "Digital Citizen" and even signed a "Trust Card" promising that we will be very careful and respectful while we use our iPad.  We got to explore a little on them... but it will take a little while to load some of the apps and work out some technology "kinks".  But we are patient and looking forward to helping each other and learning together as we begin our journey to becoming "Digital Citizens"!

Welcome to a New School Year!

Dear Parents and Students - Tomorrow is Meet the Teacher Night at Bear Creek from 6:00 - 7:00  p.m.  I am very excited to see all your smiling faces and looking forward to meeting every one of you!  Please bring your school supplies to Meet the Teacher so I can help you organize them and put them away so you are ready to go Monday morning!  Can't wait to meet you all!
