First Grade

Jack has completed his first full week of first grade and lived to tell the (very limited) tale.  

Necessary first day in front of the sign photo.

Jack was excited to learn a week before school starting that his buddy 

Salvi would be returning for first grade.  

Found his hook and cubby.

Right into building things.

 Here is a summary of what will be covered in class this year.  

They are studying Massachusetts, so some historical field trips are on the schedule.

For one of Jack's first homework assignments, he brought home the class mascot, 

Nutmeg, for the weekend.  The assignment was to document what Nutmeg did over 

the weekend by pictures or drawings and by writing a few sentences in Nutmeg's travel journal.  

We took Nutmeg on a hike to Lynn Woods.

Eight days in and there has been drama over friendships, frustration over his one homework assignment, and excitement about some class activities.  Jack's teacher seems great and provides us with a weekly summary of what happened in class which is quite helpful as it is an effort to get much information out of Jack about his day.  Here's hoping for a fun year with lots of learning.
