The First Day of School!

We had an awesome first day of school together! All of the students came in ready to listen and learn. We went over a lot of things like how to play at recess, how to use the bathroom correctly and how to walk in the hallways. We also did a lot of learning about the classroom. We did this by playing with math manipulates and then practicing how to clean up and get ready to learn again quickly. Here MB, HR and BC are showing me they can work on their own and with others in an appropriate way.

Later in the day, we got to learn how some tools work on our Promethean Board. We learned how to drag objects, color in shapes and use the pen tool to circle and write on the board.

We also took our pictures outside and wrote in our journals about our first day of school. Our pictures turned out great! Here are a few of the students in Room 12.

Last but not least, we had a birthday to celebrate! KB turned 7 today and we had cupcakes and juice to celebrate the big event. Here she is taking the first birthday bite.

All in all, the first day of school was great and the time flew by! If your student has not turned in their blog permission slip yet, be sure to send it back so that I can post some pictures of them! Stay tuned for more happenings in Room 12!
