1st Day ~ Fabulous

Wow! What a great first day! Today set the tone for a great year in so many ways. I'm really looking forward to working with these great kids!

We organized supplies, talked about expectations and procedures, learned about the classroom jobs, had a tour of our classroom that highlighted the "new" and refreshed the "old", and learned about the 3 ways to read a book: to Read the Pictures, Read the Words, and Retell the Story. We also read First Day Jitters which tells the tale of an unlikely person with new school jitters. The students were surprised by the ending I think.

This blog is still "under construction" as I plan how we are going to use it to benefit students and families. Coming soon: Homework assignments, links to learning websites, photos of our classroom, student work, and information for parents on what is going on in our class every week.

My excitement for the school year is heightened to a new level, I can't wait to see what happens next!
