It was another great day in 2F! We had an assembly after music today.  Odds Bodkin is a story teller that was here. He was fabulous.  It was a long assembly so we had a late snack and then took a movement break outside in the hot weather!  When we came inside, we made Get to Know You bracelets. In the afternoon, we shared them. The read aloud today was The Teacher from the Black Lagoon.  This was a funny book! In the afternoon, we read a poem called Summer's Over which was sung to the tune of You are my Sunshine. We did some math with the Cuisenaire Rods and started an ABC book about ourselves.  Our closing circle ended our day!

Have a fabulous long weekend!

Today was a great first day of school!  I hope you are hearing good things!  We began our day with Morning Meeting where we greeted one another, did calendar and went over the day's schedule. We had Cole and Noah as our leaders and they shared about their summers. We played a name game called The Blanket Game.  Ask your child about it!

Our special today was PE and then we had snack. We had a movement break outside after we ate. It was hot.  Next, we worked with Cuisenaire Rods and began a Get to Know You Bingo activity.  Each child wrote three things about themselves as clues.  After lunch, we played the Bingo game and got to learn new things about one another.  We read a poem called The First Day of School.  Finally, Mrs. Guay read a book called First Day Jitters.  It had a surprise ending!  At closing circle, we talked about our favorite part of the day or least favorite part of the day.

I'm happy to meet my new class.
