Hello all! I hope your kiddos enjoyed their first day of school! I know I sure did. Today was fast paced with to much to do and not enough time, but we have gotten off to a great start! Our day started with an all school assembly where our wonderful new principal, Mrs. Cranston, welcomed in the new school year with a Charger Clap! Soon after we were busy learning the rules and routines of our classroom along with starting work on our stamina. What is stamina you may ask? Well ask your child! :) We are working on setting up the Daily 5 in our classroom. A large portion of this is for our students to be able to work independently for periods of time. Don't worry! This won't happen in a day. We will be working hard to build up our stamina to become the best readers (and writers) that we can be!
After our hard work this morning we took a little time to check out what our math manipulatives are. We will be using math tools a lot through Investigations. Today the kids had time to check them out and think about how we might use them in math. Here are a few of the designs that were created. Can you guess the name of the tools? :)
In case you can't tell we had quite the robot theme going by the end of the day! I hope your children enjoyed the first day and will continue to enjoy many more as the year goes on!
