First Day Pics

         On our first day, we talked about the Golden Rule, thought about what questions can help us think about how to follow the Golden Rule (treat others the way you want to be treated), and practiced making good choices.
                             

                                         The Golden Rule
                                         Think, Ask
                                         Make a Good Choice



         Here are some posters on citizenship, caring, and breathing to help us cool down instead of acting upon our emotions:




      The success rate for finding the correct cubbie this morning was excellent.  Thank you to parents who helped their students follow the teacher's directions.


      The posters at the back of the room served as cheat sheets for the teacher to help show students the correct procedures for various classroom activities.



      This is a work in progress. The wall is set up to display the common core standards, big ideas (objectives), and essential questions covered in the unit.


      A year-round useful board for color words and a simple extra job chart:


Today I met some very lovely students.   As we continue to practice rules and procedures, review the alphabet, letter names and sounds, counting and writing numbers I will continue to observe and talk with students to learn more about them.  I have a feeling this year will be an adventure, and I am thankful for being able to make it with this group of children.
