First Day of School!

WOW! I can't believe today was the first day back! The kids were GREAT! Everyone was a bit quiet and shy in the beginning, but that did not last long!!!

We participated in lots of get-to-know-you activities as well as went through all our procedures and my Expectations.  Students also made an expectation list for one another and one for me as their teacher.  The kids all have positive and note-worthy things to say. I can tell we are going to have a wonderful community in my class once again.

A few of our get to know you activities included:
Talking Time with students who had the same color Jolly Rancher
2 Truths and 1 Lie game where we had to guess which was the fib
Completing an All About Me poster
Listing 3 things the kids wanted to know about me (and I answered the questions)
The kids listing 3 things they wanted me to know about them

A few Procedures we went over included:
Hallway Behavior
Lunch behavior (the monitors only had WONDERFUL things to say to us)
Class behavior
HW policy
Planner policy
Library check-out

We also created our own animal involving different structures, which we'll share the next time we have science.

All in all our day was great! Thanks for sending them reading to learn this morning! We even earned 4 BasketPAWS already!!!! (check the Behavior button on the side to find out how we earn those)
Tomorrow we will begin our regular schedule except with a few interruptions with Fire Drill's and the Orchestra teacher meeting the kids.

Hope your child has lots of positive things to say about the day!

Have a good evening,

PS--Please try and get the FORMS filled out ASAP. Thank you to those who already sent them in today!
