The first four days of school were outstanding! Our classroom was buzzing with activity. Friends were getting reacquainted and new friendships were being formed. Establishing routines, both inside the classroom and outside our classroom doors, took up a good portion of these first four days. Your children did an outstanding job of practicing and remembering these routines. By Friday...we were all exhausted and looking forward to the weekend.
We had our first Community Meeting on the morning of our first day of school. This year our whole school will focus on “Growth Mindset”. More to come on this later! We had our first two Fire Drills. We spent quite a bit of time talking about the importance of practicing this very important routine. We also learned about our three rules at school: Be Safe....Be Respectful...Be Responsible We read so many outstanding books and made connections to ourselves and our classmates. Worrying and New Experiences: Wemberly Worried and First Day Jitters Creating and Maintaining Friendships: Will You Be My Friend?, The Crayon Box That Talked, Crickwing, Pig the Winner Following School Rules/PBIS: Seven Rules You Absolutely Must Not Break If You Want To Survive The Cafeteria Active Listening to our teachers and friends: Wordy Birdy Another fun-filled week is ahead for us.
