We are collecting quotes this year in our agendas. Yesterday's was "Don't let comparison steal your joy!". We are still figuring out the glitches of the day (like exactly how long it takes to change shoes for first graders...yikes!) so not everyone was able to write down the quote....but I definitely wanted to share that one with you. First graders often find themselves sitting next to someone who does something better than they do (reading, doing math, handwriting, etc.) and can start to compare themselves to them. We talked about feeling joy about who we are and where we are without using others as our "thermometer". We will use quotes throughout the year as part of our character education, handwriting program, and discussion springboards. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
If your child does not have 2 3-ring binders and 3 composition notebooks, please try to get them as soon as possible as we are starting projects that require them.
Their 3-ring notebook with the agenda needs to come home and to school daily. It is SUPER IMPORTANT!!
I LOVE this class. They are kind, sweet....and oh so smart!!!
Have a great Thursday!
