Recap of our time.....

Things are going well. We start our day off with morning meeting. We greet others and provide eye contact. We review the calendar, special things going on, and anything that needs to be reviewed (such as listening to our teachers at specials and not putting crayons into the electric pencil sharpener to see what happens.....i'm not naming names on this latest one!)

Darius then heads to specials with his second grade class and the rest of us head to science and social studies with Ms. Watts. This past week we have been learning about the rules in our school and community. We've also been practicing the pledge of allegiance. The boys are all using interactive notebooks to keep track of their lessons in this class.

Second block the 1st grade friends all head to computer lab while Darius comes back to the room for math time.

Third block, David and Grant go to Mrs. Pumphrey's room for small group reading while Darius, Patrick, and Sunny all have centers in our room. Here they are participating in listening center (book on tape), art center, computers, building blocks, spelling, 1:1 reading, etc.

Fourth block, Darius heads to lunch with his second grade class. Patrick goes to small group reading with Ms. Childer's. David, Grant, and Sunny now participate in centers in our class.

Fifth block is lunch/recess. All the 1st grade boys eat with Mrs. Pumphrey's class. Darius is now in his small group reading class with Ms. Kennedy.

Sixth block for 1st grade is their specials rotation. Patrick and Sunny go with Ms. Childer's class while David and Grant go with Mrs. Pumphrey's class. Darius goes to Science and Social Studies with Mrs. Seward.

Seventh block Grant and David go to small group math/math extension/tech lab depending on the week. Patrick and Sunny have math in the classroom. Darius is now in computer lab.

The last block of the day we are finally all together again. It's a long and exhausting day but the boys seem to really enjoy it.

All the boys have really become a lot more social from when we first started and are growing by leaps and bounds. It really is exciting these days being with them because we're never quite sure exactly what they are going to say!

Alright, hope you enjoy your weekend!
