Today has been a fantastic day! I was really nervous at the beginning of the day because I was going to start some new routines in the classroom and the entire class really stepped up and did a great job! We started our Daily 5 rotations today. These are during our language arts time block and the children worked in small groups with Mrs. Rohan and myself and they also had the chance to work independently at stations. One of the new favorites was going to the listening station where I have books on an ipod that they get to listen to.
We had our first fire drill today. We had practiced it before, but it was good for us to see what it would look like and sound like as the entire school went outside for this drill.
Mrs. Douce, our school services coordinator, came in and did a short lesson with the classroom today. She talked about some emotions and talked about how to handle the emotions that go along with starting kindergarten. We had a lot of great conversation from this lesson.
We wrapped up our Habit #1 study this week by practicing looking someone in the eye to say hello or goodbye and thank you. This is a great skill to continue to work on at home and we will continue to practice it at school. Next week, we will be working on Habit #2 Begin with the End in Mind.
Finally, we have some fun things happening in the cafeteria next week. On Tuesday, we are going to have a Beach Party at lunch and have some fun. The cafeteria is going to be offering "fintastic fish sticks" as well as the other listed lunch choices that day. They will also be offering a popsicle to those that buy a lunch from the cafeteria.
Have a great weekend everyone!
