Our First Day

We had a great first day of school.  We welcomed three new kids to Snow Hill:  Dakota Banther, Durby, and Madelyn Little.  We are excited to have them with us.  Today in literacy class we introduced our new word study words and vocabulary words.  We organized our literacy notebooks and began a writing project where the students interviewed a classmate and found out lots of information about their partners. They drew portraits of their new friends.  Tomorrow we'll turn the interview notes into paragraphs.  We also discussed how summer book reports are to be done.  They are due on our before August 31rst.  Tomorrow we will begin our study of Freedom Train and begin taking notes in social studies.  Our first tests will be word study & vocabulary next Friday.  Tuesday folders will be sent home next week with graded work and informative papers. I love my class!
