First Day Success!

Our first day was great! Everybody came to school ready to learn today. We got started learning right away! 

This morning we read Pete the Cat: Rocking in my School Shoes. We had fun singing Pete's song! 

When we finished the book, we found a note from Pete! This led us on a tour of the school. We had fun checking out the cafeteria, music room, library, and office. Unfortunately we never found Pete but he did leave us some notes and in the end he left us some coloring pages. 

Later, we read first day First Day Jitters and talked about our first day feelings. 

I introduced literacy stations to the kids today and they did great. 

We began with two today and will build up to four very soon. 

Here are some of the things the kids were working on during stations:

We also put together our name chart.

During math, we talked about our math tools and explored unifix cubes. 

We ended our day with social stations. We talked about how this is a time for being a good friend. Throughout the year we will focus on different social skills for practice during social stations. This week our focus in on making new friends. 

I am looking forward to day two! :) 

Please email me with any questions or concerns. I know it may be hard to wait until next week for orientation!
