Back to school and the daily grind!

Wow!  It's hard to believe that we nearing the end of the 4th week of school!  Our class has settled in to our daily routine and we have had a fun, busy few weeks.  Our day starts out with our morning math meeting.  We are learning about the calendar, the days of the week, months of the year, counting, sorting, shapes, and reading graphs.  In reading, we continue to practice sight words, decoding words, and reading decodable books.

We reinforce these skills with our work stations.

Our class is also pleased to have Mrs. Kara Slaggle Loftin as our student teacher.  Kara is a Seymour native and will graduate this December from Midwestern State University. Mrs. Loftin is a great teacher and we are happy to have her teaching in our class!

Mrs. Gregg's 1st Day of School 2010-11

The first day of school was August 23, 2010.  The morning started with a Meet the Teacher time at 7:45-8:15.  Students arrived and met me, found their desk, and promptly began coloring.  This year, the PTO provided every Seymour Elementary student with a years worth of school supplies!  This was made possible with funds raised at various PTO fund raisers.  So, the students already had a school box with supplies waiting for them at their desk.  The first day was a fun, exciting day of getting acquainted with each other and learning about how our days would be spent (schedule, rules, and, of course, lunch and recess time!)

My new website for school

I will be using my new blog site for posting school information and pictures.  I have found the program my school district uses to be very time consuming and frustrating to use.  So, I hope this site will be easier to maintain and keep up to date.  I love sharing photos of my students with parents and friends.  It's always fun to see what the kids are doing during the day while away from parents.  So, bear with me as I learn to "blog."
