Here's a little bit of our day. We chose desks, unpacked supplies and colored a picture (there is a good chance that seats are going to be switched around next week). We played a get to know each other game, practiced a fire drill and lock down. The students brainstormed about 2nd graders. We read two books, First Day Jitters and a Pete the Cat book. Ask your child to tell you about the stories and sing you Pete's button song. Our Fundation kits are set up and we started building words. We wrote a bit about ourselves and shared something from our summer. We even had a classroom scavenger hunt. WHOOO WHEEEEE all that plus snack, recess, lunch and a few bathroom breaks. It was a jam packed day.
We have recess at 10:20 and lunch at 12:40. It is a long morning, so be sure to pack a snack to hold them until lunchtime. Children are also allowed to keep water bottles at their desks. This might be especially important to keep in mind as I've heard temps could reach 90 degrees tomorrow.
You may have noticed I sent home some of the pencils and glue sticks. I had the children keep a few at their desks and told them to bring the rest home and restock their pencil boxes as needed.
Thank you to all those who returned the STACK of paperwork you received over the summer. If you haven't done so yet please do ASAP.
Here are some pictures of our exciting day! Enjoy!
