First Day in Rm 82

What a fabulous day!!!!

At the beginning of the day we played a number of games to introduce everyone and the class and learn everyone’s name.  Also, we read the story “The Name Jar” and students started to understand the importance of individuals name.

In the afternoon the class started an art project.  First, the students came up with a number of descriptive words to describe themselves (such as, loving, adventurous, sneaky J) and then the students collaborated all the words together and wrote them on the write board.  Finally, the students traced their hands and decorated their hands with the descriptive words that they created.  You will be able to see the final display during parent/teacher meet and greet.

Later in the afternoon the students attended an assembly based on the book “If Kids Ran the World”.

Your child received a folder to take home.  This folder will be handed back and forth between home and school to pass documents.  If you need to send me information please use this folder or email me at aewitmer@cbe.ab.ca.  Additionally, within this folder can you please sign the documents as soon as possible?  One of the documents allows me to place pictures of your child on our classroom blog.  I need this document signed before I can place your child’s pictures on the blog.  I have a number of great pictures that I would like to share with you.

On Thursday, September 3 at 10AM parent council will be providing grade 1-4 students of Cranston School with a light breakfast of a banana chocolate chip muffin and a cheese string.  If your child has a food allergy to please ensure that they bring an alternative snack for that day.

Question:

What was your favourite part of the day? and Why?

We will look at the responses to this question tomorrow.  My goal is to assign a question on the blog Monday and we will review the responses throughout the week.

It was an absolute delight to meet all of my students!!! We had a great first day.
