Today we rocked the first day of first grade! I was so proud of all these students!
We learned a lot of necessary things to make it a smooth year ( how to get to the bathroom, how to order your milk, how to go through the hot lunch line, how to use the equipment at recess, how to find the nurse's office etc.)!
We also read a great book that was about a character starting school and feeling unsure called Chrysanthemum. This led us to a nice conversation starter about how to be a good friend and how to make a friend. We will be focused on building our social skills and sense of community for the rest of this week. My biggest goal is for everyone to like school and want to come!
Look for a special birthday treat coming home in backpacks tonight from Ross! Happy 6th birthday Ross!
Tomorrow is PE day, please have your student wear or pack sneakers.
Email me with any concerns or questions, and expect your first grader to be tired tonight!!
Conversation starters....
*What did you share at morning meeting that you wanted the team to know about you?
*How do you ask to use the bathroom?
*What color arrow do you line up on at recess (green)? What did you do at recess?
