While all the parents listened to her principal tell about their school & give their annual report, the kids were dismissed to head to their classrooms & get ready. Unfortunately, with Harrison & Charlotte to keep happy & quiet, and with Matt in class for the first part of the report I was too busy to hear much of it. I just kept giving Harrison gum and hoping my supply would last longer than the report. :)
Finally it was time to head up the stairs to see Madeleine's room. She had her journal, science notebook & math notebook all out for us to see. She was so proud to show us all the work she's been doing in her class. First grade has been such a wonderful experience for her so far! She comes home daily exclaiming "I just LOVE first grade." Just what this momma wants to hear! This year she stays with the same teacher all day long (her homeroom teacher is her switch class teacher as well) which is great since she just loves her teacher.
Since Madeleine is in the accelerated reading group, they do a lot of independent work, which is something she seems to thrive on. She's a pretty self motivated girl & I think she loves the challenge of this class, but also being able to pace herself and problem solve on her own. Here she is at one of the computer stations.
First grade is apparently big into science. They're observing the life cycle of several different bugs/frogs. Harrison was fascinated with the worms and bugs and now every time we take Madeleine to school we have to stop & see them.
