First day August 27, 2014

Kids hanging out waiting for school to start. Ususally we will be outside.

The Welcome Board will greet us every day.

Here we are working on out name placards. We have our name, something no one knows about us, a hobby, favorite book or movie and favorite food.

Kids wait in line for lunch.

These are the hallway expectations. We traveled around a lot today. We had chorus, PE or World Languages, and Community, Organization or Guidance.

Here we are in chorus. We learned a cool song about summer time blues.

We had a busy, but pretty fun first day.

Tonight's homework:

Bring RED folder home to parents. Get paperwork filled out, especially the yellow card. Bring the folder and paperwork to school tomorrow. Stickers for folders for whoever gets their cards in. This RED folder will become our homework folder. On Friday we get our Assignment Books (also red.)

Note from the blogger.

We had a great first day, with a lot  of learning about procedures and specials classes. On Wednesdays we have three specials. We spent the entire morning together and got to know each other a little bit. We have four new students from other schools joining those of us who were here on move up day.

Tomorrow, when kids arrive, instead of coming to the classroom, they will go through the dining room, stop for breakfast or to buy a snack for later, go to hang up bags in the hall of pegs and go outside for before school recess. (That's a bit of an oxymoron. We will learn about those later.)

Remember, parents and guardians are welcome to visit the classroom this Friday for a fruity meet and greet, from 7:45 to 8:50 a.m. Please return the yellow cards with emails so we can contact you to set up a getting to know you meeting. If you cannot attend the meet and greet we will contact you soon.
