Great Week Repost

Our students had a great week in first grade this week. We learned how to write about things that mattered to us, check out books, problem solve, share our expertise with others and be scientists. This week, we will be extending that learning by devoting time discussing story maps, writing conferences and discussions, draftbook expectations, place value, and yes, more science tools and leaders.

We have a classroom full of leaders. This nine weeks, our leaders in class are as follows. I have been working with the students and watching them, to see what type of classroom position will best suit them. Students will soon also be allowed to run for student council.

Campus wide leaders in our class right now include:

• Madison and Luke, who shared about the 7 Habits at Meet the Teacher Night - Way to Go guys!
• Ainsley and Kyra , who will be our classes Junior Librarians, becoming experts in how to use the TVE Library and helping their classmates to check out and use Library Resources

Classroom Helpers for the first nine weeks are:

o    Line Leader: Melania

o    Pledge Leader: Aidan

o    Tiger Time: Jack and Kasey

o    Computers: Luke and Joyce

o    Junior Librarians: Kyra and Ainsley

o    Classroom Manager: Noah

o    Lunch Leaders: Ella and Tanner

o    Watt Watcher: Kimiya

o    Mission Manager: Ethan

o    Recess Ready: Landon

o    Calendar: Zachary

o    Line Monitor: Alexis

o    Personal Assistant: Rory

We also are beginning our Hero of the Week. This special hero will share about their life and leadership this week, and we will be learning about Rory, this week.
