What a great day so far! I think I love this class. Thank you parents for raising such well behaved, kind children.
Here is what we did today:
Periods 1 and 2: we had some popcorn in a giant circle and shared small kernels of information about ourselves to our classmates. Then we listened to the book 'First Day Jitters' and drew pictures of how we felt this morning about school (most of us were tired but excited). We worked so hard that we even got outside for a few minutes before lunch.
Period 3 and 4 we started by playing the 'blanket game'...a fun quick naming game. Then we tried to sing Willoughby Wallaby ...but it was a disaster. Mr. Cross can't sing and play guitar at the same time...I'll practice tonight and hopefully get a recording out tomorrow.
We also came up with some class rules...and signed the rules showing we agree to follow the rules.
After our class rules we started working on an 'About Me' page where the kids tell me a little bit about themselves (e.g., favourite book, colour, family members)
Period 5 is gym/health with Mr. D. I believe he's doing some sort of fun Health activity to start the year.
Period 6 we'll have another community circle. I have sticker to give them for being such super stars. We'll enjoy some free time...and practice putting things back where we got them from!
