Authority Figures in First Grade

Authority Figures in First Grade

Hello everyone! Summer is totally winding down for me and I think I’m actually OK with it… EEK! :) Don’t tell anyone!

My teammate and I have met up a few times this summer to plan for the first 3 weeks of school. We also made all of our copies for the first couple of weeks as well!! We had never done that before- we’d always waited until the day after our school’s sneak a peek and then scrambled and crammed in our planning with 2 days til school started! It feels awesome!

Peek At My Week- President’s Day (Freebie)

This week is jam-packed and short! We were off Monday and I am DRA testing on Wednesday, so that leaves only 3 teaching days. Friday is also an assembly day and the last day of the 6 weeks, so I’ll be scrambling to get grades in. I don’t really have time to do the fancy visual plans with all the pictures and links, so I’m just going to give you an overview! :)
We’ll be using a few different resources to learn all about President’s Day.
Here is an ABC order freebie that I made.
