Hooray for the first day!


What a wonderful first day we had in Second Grade today!

I meant to take pictures and get them posted right away, but the day was so busy that it blew my mind. I will make sure to take pictures the rest of the week and post them for you.

Today we did a lot of team building games and modeling behaviors in the classroom. We made “All About Me” posters, created a puzzle piece that will connect with everyone else in our class (we are a team and work together), and organized our school supplies. We also practiced building our reading stamina and learned a new tag game that the students can play at recess. We will be playing a lot of recess games the next few weeks that will hopefully give the children other ideas of what they can do at recess. This will also prevent recess issues that occurred in the past :)

This group of students has been very welcoming to the new friends in our class and our new friends are fitting in perfectly! It is so nice to see students include new children in their games at recess and in their conversations in the classroom and at lunch.

I am looking forward to a great year!
