What a week! The kiddos are getting used to our class routines and are doing well with learning it all. We're still working on walking quietly in the hallway though; we don't want to distrupt other classes that are learning. They are awesome at independent reading and following directions. They also really love read alouds; it's the quietest time of the day in our room!
I'm ready for a long weekend and I know the kids are too! I'll see them again on Tuesday, 9/6.
