Week 1 - First Grade Rocks!

Our 1st Day of School Self Portraits.  Names are to the left.

The first week of 1st grade was fun, fantastic, fabulous, and TIRING!!  It is HARDWORK being a first grader!  By the end of the day I  have 21 sets of drooping eyes and tired postures but at least they are still grinning!

One thing that we learned this week was how to be "A Golden Ruler".  What is A Golden Ruler you ask?  It is quite simple, A Golden Ruler is someone who follows the Golden Rule and treats others the way that he/she wants to be treated.  We read a story about the kingdom of Hickory Hill and Queen Mean and King Nasty who lived there and were not nice to others. They learn how to follow the Golden Rule and everyone lives happily ever after!

All and all it was a wonderful week.  I look forward to the remainder of the year with this great bunch of kiddos!

We decided we would be Golden Rulers, not Queen Mean or King Nasty!
