First Week Plans
So…I am a blogger FAILURE! 🙂 I promised all of these fabulous updates, and I literally have fallen asleep at 8:00 everyday, and I feel like I haven’t seen Keith in weeks! Boo! BUT, Meet the Teacher went AMAZING, and I am sooo excited for these new little ones! Did I mention how SWEET they are?!!? And their parents are wonderful too! I just can’t even wait until Monday! We have five new sweet ladies on our team, so I made really detailed plans to help them! I wanted to share them with you too. :)Please excuse my silly language! 🙂 As a reminder, pretty much everything I mention is in my First Days packet on TPT. If anything isn’t, just email me and I will send it to you! 🙂

is how to read and write for a long time! The first thing we need to practice
is how to take good care of our books and our book bags! We will make an anchor
chart/T Chart that says “How to Treat Books,” with a happy face and a sad face.

Graders will get their book bags, YEAH!, and they will practice choosing a few
books from their table boxes to add to their book bags. (2-3). Then, Ms. H will
ask what reading looks like? We will make another anchor chart for “Good
Readers.” Good Readers look at the pictures, read the words, think about the book
they are reading, choose a new book after they finish, stay in one spot, don’t
give up, and choose books that they WANT to read. Then, first graders will get
to read the books in the book bags at their table until lunch. (We will not
introduce Stamina until next week).

Meet Einstein, and we will make a class anchor chart about Scientists…what they
can, what they have, and what they are. We will use our background knowledge
from Kindergarten to help us! Scientists CAN measure things, classify them, put
them into groups, observe, use tools, and write in their notebook, do experiments.
Scientists HAVE scales, magnifying glasses, etc., and ARE smart, curious, first
graders, etc…we will use this anchor chart throughout the
year to help us.
