First week of school...check!

Well, hello! Thank you so much for sharing your children with me this week. They were just as thrilled to be here as I was, and we had quite a ride. Many of our activities focused on building our classroom community together. As you saw on our first post, we began with our classroom rules and establishing routines, and yesterday and today we have continued to focus on those positive qualities while getting ourselves back into the routines of school. 

Yesterday during our Morning Meeting we discussed Mission (a common goal or purpose) and Vision (what inspires us to achieve our goal), and THE STUDENTS wrote out ours. The wisdom that they have at this age is astounding! Here is what they came up with...


...we decided I need to figure out how to create a huge banner with these to hang front and center above our white board.

Today was day 1 of writing workshop and math. I heard a lot of groaning, but not when I told them that we were going to start math...when I told them that we were done with our lesson for the day! LOL!

Last, but not least...here is a little treat for you in two options!




Blog update...new design chosen & installation on the way! Woohoo!!!
