Day 2 of First Grade

We had another super day in first grade!  Here are some highlights of our day:

We explored our new pencil boxes and started learning about some of the tools inside them.

We read a book about a box of crayons that could talk and then started a project that had us thinking about what makes each of us unique and special. 

After recess and lunch we have Quiet Time before we head into our afternoon activities. This is about ten minutes long and allows us to calm our bodies and minds by listening to some music and looking at some books. 

We also had the chance to start exploring some of the math manipulatives that we will be using throughout the year.  I can already tell that this a a very creative bunch!!

First Day of First Grade 2017-18

I am happy to share that we had a great first day today in first grade!!  I hope that all of the students feel the same way!  It was a very busy day - we went to two different specials (Enrichment and PE), started learning about our Flexible seating choices, as well as the expectations in the lunchroom and on the playground. We also fit in some time for some "Magic Playdoh" and a Popsicle treat - is there any better way to end the first day back to school?!  

Here are a few snapshots of our day - I was only able to capture a few of our activities!

Awaiting their arrival!!

Can't wait for Day 2!!!
