Class in Rm. #110 has kicked off to a great start! It has been very exciting meeting each of my students. They all have such wonderful but different personalities! I can tell we have a lot of eager learners. Here is a picture of our first day together!
I was busy and nervous on our first day that I forgot to take pictures of our activities. However, we had a great time drinking "jitter juice" after a read aloud of First Day Jitters. After reading the story and washing away our jitters we took a vote! How many students liked our jitter juice? I believe there were 19 that said they would drink it again!
Unfortunately, we did have to go over our rules and procedures a LOT since it was the first few days of school. Good news is, they now have our Five Classroom Rules completely memorized (let's hope they don't lose it over the weekend). In case you aren't familiar with the Whole Brain Teaching Rules, you can access them here. I will be using Whole Brain quite a bit in my classroom this year. I believe it is the best way to teach and motivate my students!
Yesterday, we had a great time sharing our memory bags! I loved seeing and hearing the memories they each brought! A lot of our students had similar memories/items. It was neat to see them build those connections with one another! Here are some of our friends sharing their memories!
We have had two scavenger hunts this year! Our first scavenger hunt happened yesterday. Students were asked to find different people in our classroom that liked or could do certain things. For example, find someone who has a dog! After direction, they all got the hang of it! Khushi, was the first person to find an answer for each question! I liked this activity because they were learning things about each other and getting to talk to someone other than their close friends! My shy kiddos really stepped up during this scavenger hunt! Yay! Today was our second scavenger hunt. This scavenger hunt tested their knowledge of our classroom. They had to find different things around the room (something tall, something that starts with a "m"). Fun times!
Happy Birthday Danny! We celebrated our first birthday of the year today. Parents you are more than welcome to bring goodies for your child to share with the class on their birthday!
Danny said, "You can call me the chocolate monster!"
Thank you parents for bringing in your forms so fast! We were given a compliment from the front office for being so speedy!
We have had a great start to the year!
