First Day

Today we stayed with our homeroom until after lunch, so we could introduce most of our rituals and routines. We had a special visit by our principal, Ms. Stalls, and assistant principal, Ms. Turner, who were VERY impressed with how quickly our students brought supplies. :-) Other events in my homeroom included a health lesson about choosing healthy snacks, making birthday cards to give to classmates throughout the year, and touring the school. Both classes were able to suggest class rewards for our "100 Squares" incentive chart and participated in our first Second Step lesson, an introduction to our first unit, Empathy Training. If forgetting my camera at home was the worst thing to happen to me at school today, then I'd say it was a pretty good first day. :-) What was your favorite part of our first day?

  1. Heather's favorite part of her day was getting to know Ms Pike and sitting on the carpet hearing her read Judy Moody. That is one of her FAVORITE books.

  2. Bryson's favorite part of the day was seeing old friends and making new friends. He said he had a good first day in third grade.
