View From the First Grade Trenches

So what happened to August?

I swear it was just the first day of school mid-month 
and now it's September.

Green Day's "Wake Me Up When September Ends" is playing in my noggin.

This year I switched from over a decade of teaching fifth grade to braving an army of six-year-old first graders.

Best decision I've ever made. Talk about a fabulous audience for my funny voices when I read books!

I could go on and on about how adorable they are, but I've always been one for visuals. Here is a sample of our beginning of the year "David project" (as in David Shannon's 
David Goes to School picture book).

Enjoy.
