Phew! We all survived. It was a great day! We played a get to know each other game. We had to ask classmates questions and they put their initials on our sheet if it matched them. Apparently, I was the the only one who wears glasses so I got to fill out that square on everyone's paper. We played an I Have, Who Has game to see how much we knew about the school. We then read a book titled First Day Jitters. Ask your child about the surprise ending. We talked about things that may have made us nervous before school started and even wrote about a few of them. I told them I was afraid the children would be mean. We had recess that EVERYONE thought was much shorter than last year (it wasn't). The students wrote a bit about themselves and what they enjoyed this summer. We even had a practice fire drill. Our classroom had to double as the lunch room today because of elections. It was a fun day. Hopefully everyone is willing to come back tomorrow because we have GYM (always a class favorite) so please wear appropriate shoes.
