Multiplication facts

Today we made a multiplication fact cootie catcher.  We can practice our 3's.

Oh Bother . . .

Wow! It can be so hard to find things. . . 

When our desk are messy. . .

It slows us down and we can't be ready to learn on time.

But when our desks are neatly organized. . .

We can find what we need for learning quickly. . .

And not keep anyone waiting!

So lets keep those desks neat and organized. With everything in it's place.

Thank you,

Bring on the learning revolution. . .

A great follow up to the importance of creativity in the classroom. Bring on the learning revolution.

Getting to know each other on the 1st day of school

We started the year out with a cool activity. We spent the morning putting a puzzle together while getting to know our new classmates. 

We worked together to build this puzzle while building new friendships. Building new memories and friendships, what a great start to the year.

The bonds we made on this first day will help us to have the best year ever.

Like the completed puzzle, we are a complete class that takes care of each other and helps each other to learn everything we can.

This will be a great year of learning and growing.

Please join us this year. Follow along as we learn and grow together.

Thank you,
