August 28, 2014 Thursday

We got outside for our regular entire recess today.



We worked in groups to come up with ways we want our class to look, sound and feel.

Ms. Lamb is blogger of the day. We started the day outside for pre school playground time. At 8:00 the entire school practiced bus protocols and before school protocols. Ask your student to describe these protocols.

Today's Homework
Write in your homework journal. Describe your ideal classroom. (Note, we did this at the end of the day together to discuss what journal homework looks like, and how long it should take. Students are bringing home the journal to share with parents and returning the red folder and journal tomorrow. Students who still owe office information should also bring that in.)

Notes from the blogger.
We had another great day. It seemed much smoother already. We are getting around very well and working together. We started a partner project of creating a map of the classroom. We will discuss what final drafts look like and finish up tomorrow.

We were challenged to silently line up according to our birthdays which we did splendidly. Then we worked in randomly assigned groups to come up with three looks like, sounds like and feels like for our classroom. Tomorrow we will turn our ideas into three to five major guidelines for our classroom.

Don't forget the meet and greet morning watermelon fest. Come anytime from 7:45 to 8:50. Ms. Frank will be here to introduce herself and the band program. If you can't come, no worries. We will set up a special time to meet you.
