Welcome to the Whitman's World of Wonder webpage. I hope you will visit often to stay updated on happenings in our first grade classroom and what our precious first graders are learning during the school year.
Whitman's World of Wonder is the best class in the school. There are 9 boys and 10 girls; 19 wonderful students in all. Mrs. Bass and I are looking forward to working with our first graders for the new school year. We have many fun and exciting activities planned. Learning will be fun.
There will be a character trait each month. These will be traits that good citizens strive for. We are now the Rockwell Rockets and we're ready to blast off to a great and productive year.
Our first graders will also learn new things about reading, sight words, spelling, writing stories and handwriting, math, science, social studies, art, music, library, computers, guidance, and living and working in a community, side by side. In first grade we make new friends and learn with the old friends.
First graders can bring a healthy snack each day. No drinks, please. We take 10 minutes to have our snack time while we work.
First graders need to "layer" their clothes. Wear a sweater or such for the chilly mornings. Then it can be taken off when we go outside. He/She may need that extra layer because it gets chilly in our classroom when the air conditioner is on.
Your first grader will learn fantastic things about our language and reading. Just get a free library card from the public library in order to check out books for your child and you to enjoy this year. The weekly spelling words will be found under "Flashcards" at the top of this newsletter. I will tell you when spelling words will start.
