Day 2 Tales of a First Grader

I love Mrs. Baylor.  She is such a good teacher.

I did not like those corn dogs you made me for lunch.  Yuck!

I have spelling words.  They are:  "I, see, a, green, boy, up, the, in, out, go."

Did you know I will have a spelling test every Friday?

Here's a paper about how to pick me up from school.  You don't need it because you already know all that stuff.

Am I writing my numbers correctly?  Is my 3 right?  (Yes.)

Guess what?  I will be doing science.  I didn't even know I was old enough for that!

I was going to show you something but then I remembered today is the last day you get to walk me to my classroom.  It's my first day of school poster.  Darn it!

They really should have had meet the teacher and open house on the same night.

Wowwww!  I love strawberries!!

Now I'm going to write my spelling words three times each.

The only fun part of today was recess.  The funny part of recess was that instead of Lola being my mommy for me to be a puppy was that Alanii was or Bailey was.  The part I liked was that I got to be their baby.

The not fun part about today was that I didn't get to finish my All About Bruce Shulkey First Day of First Grade packet. 

I did go down one color because the girls started a conversation at recess and we finished the conversation in the hallway.  Yesterday I was at the front of the line but today Diego was.  It goes in alphabetical order. 

At PE today, this is what we did.  Say that you are a big giant circle and so a poly spot is right there.  If you are in khaki pants you go run to another spot, but if you run to the middle and touch a poly spot you are stuck there until you have something on that she calls out.  I don't know what the game is called.


Done.

First Day Report

Today was my first day of first grade.  I got homework.  Can I go ahead and do my homework?  Today was too easy.

I only learned one thing today.  I learned to make the numbers I write face left or right.  In my folder there is a side for parents and a side for me.  I have to learn all those math problems.  It looks hard.

FYI you don't have to do this, but you can, help with the PTA.  Duh!  You already do.

What did you like about today?
I liked learning where we sit.  We have line order and alphabet order and I'm the leader.  I liked the whole day.  I also need to finish my All About Me poster.

What did you not like about today?
I liked everything today and I was on red today.  Red is good.  There are different colors.  White is call your parents.  Red is outstanding.  We start from ready to learn, then black, then yellow...I was on black today.  Black is very good.

Yes, I got to talk with all my friends.  I didn't know I was rolling my eyes.

I didn't really like my lunch.  I didn't like the sandwich.  I liked the chocolate chip cookies, but I didn't finish them.

I read my whole lunch note, but it wasn't really funny.

That's all for today.

First Grade Starts Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is my first day of first grade.  I will have Mrs. Baylor. 

1. What think first grade will be like?
I think it will be easy and fun.  I will get lunch and other things later than they do in kindergarten.

2.  What do you think about your teacher?
I know she's nice.  She's smart.  She's the gifted and talented teacher.

3.  What friends are you looking forward to seeing?
My friends in the F-club from last year. (friendship club) All the friends.  Natalie, Elaine, Lola, Bailey, Alanii, Nitzia, and the rest.

4.  What was your favorite part of summer?
Doing Tail-Wagging Tutors at the downtown library.  (Claire read books to specially trained therapy dogs.)

5.  What do you hope you will learn about this year?
Learn about? I already know lots of things that I'm going to learn, like math, art, science, how to plant things.  Maybe I'll get to water the plants we grew.

6. How are you different this year than the beginning of kindergarten?
I'm better at things.  I'm going to meet newer friends.  I'm so glad.

I got some awards!

We had an awards ceremony on the last week of school.  Here are some pictures and copies of my awards.


I am an All-American girl!  It says so right here!

Here I am in line waiting to get my awards.  Mama took a picture of me getting the awards, but unfortunately the lighting was bad and the picture is mostly black.

Of course I am also an excellent musician.

If you read my blog, you also know I'm an excellent artist.  This proves it.

Here I am with Paul, Mama, and Mrs. Alvarez, the best kindergarten teacher.  I don't want to go to first grade because I love Mrs. Alvarez so much.

Letters to Disney



My mom saw on Pinterest that if you write a Disney character, they will send you an autographed picture.  Here are my letters.



I decided to write several princesses.

This is Paul's.  He wrote Woody.

We did get a postcard in the mail the other day.  Unfortunately it wasn't from the characters I wrote letters to, but it was still fun getting a postcard.

Catching Up

Last week we went on a field trip.  We just went to a church and saw Green Eggs and Ham.

This week I went in a hamster ball because I sold a lot of chocolate. 

Yesterday at school I threw a pie at Mr. Gooch.

We're going to do a play.  We didn't do it yet.  We're going to sing songs and dance in the gym.  Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes, the Animal Walk, do the Cha-Cha Slide, and do the Chicken Dance.

I want breakfast!

Claire throws a pie.

Because she sold 4 boxes of chocolate bars, Claire got to throw a pie at a kindergarten teacher.
