School is Cool!

We read a book called No, David!  We learned Yes, David! rules.  Some rules are keep your hands to yourself, walk in the halls, no pushing, listen, don't chew gum in class, share!
We had gym with Mrs. Welsh.  We played tag with the big noodles.

Our First Day of School

Jitter Juice!

Our day was great!  We had an assembly.  We went outside for recess and we learned where our outside shoes belong, we had snack and a lunch! We went to the gym with Ms. Mahan's grade 1 class.  

We had Jitter Juice!  It was a special drink that Mrs. Saunderson made to calm our bellies and our jitters. It even tickled our tongues.    We started to read!  It is going to be a GREAT year!

Welcome to Grade 1!

Welcome to the 2015-16 school year.  I am Mrs. Saunderson and I am so excited to meet you and begin our learning journey together!  

Thursday is the first day of classes for students.  We will meet in the gym for a short assembly before heading to classes!  

Our regular drop off/pick up door is in the back of school towards the east.  You may wait for child outside these doors.  We are building our Grade 1 independence by entering/exiting the school by ourselves!

As we will not be having regular agendas this year, we will be using this blog to document our learning journey.  Please refer to it regularly and ask your child what the blog posts are about (we will be making posts together as a class).  Feel free to comment on our posts, or even better, make sure Grandma and Grandpa know the link when they are wintering in Phoenix!
