We had a great first week!
The majority of our first week concentrated around classroom rules, and expectations. The students worked very hard learning the school routine.
We learned our calendar routine, an apple tree poem and counting songs. We enjoyed learning each other’s names. The students and I read books about coming to school. We played and interacted with each other during Free Choice. The class visited the playground, gym, library, cafeteria and music room. Students practiced eating their lunches with the lunch monitors before dismissal every day.
Next week begins full days of school. Dismissal is at 3:35. Our lunch time will be at 11:40. We will also begin having a morning snack. Please discuss with your student their lunch plan daily and if they are bringing their lunch from home discuss the difference between their “snack” and their “lunch.” Perhaps it can be packed in a different area of their backpack.
Have a great holiday weekend!
