The First Day

We had a wonderful first day of school together. I really enjoyed getting to know all the kids - they have such unique and engaging personalities. I can already tell that this is going to be an incredible bunch to learn and laugh with for the next 9 months!

Here are some highlights from today:

• We reviewed LOTS of procedures.
• We learned a really fun math game called Poison.
• We unpacked all our school supplies.
• We read the first chapter of a book called Dominic by William Steig. We discussed how this year gives each child a brand new start, and each child has choices ahead of them.
• We did a classroom scavenger hunt in order to get to know each other.
• We created a podcast.
• We ended the day with reading Miss Nelson is Missing, and having a great discussion about responsibility.

All in all, a very busy but very fun day together. I'm looking forward to many more days of learning!
