We started today off by designing covers for our homefun folders and organizing our desks and school supplies. Today was also our first day in art. Mrs. Yerby, the art teacher, reported that the Heroes did a wonderful job, earning five out of five stars. When we returned to our classroom, we had lessons on lunch procedures and behavior, recess and playground expectations, and a ten question review quiz aimed at teaching students how to record their answers on a bubble sheet. Right before lunch, we ended with a great discussion of what it means to be a HERO at school. The Heroes came up with some awesome ideas and responses. After lunch, we took a math facts test and learned how to play a math game called Race to 100, which helps reinforce place value and addition. We ended the day after recess with more discussion of what it means to be a HERO. We talked about how Heroes turn compassion into action and service for others.
Don't forget that desktags and nametags are due this Friday.
Tomorrow, we will have our first classroom party. Every day as a class, the Heroes have the opportunity to earn marbles for our class marble jar. They earn marbles by making great Hero choices, earning a five star day in specials, making quick transitions and earning compliments in the hallway. Tomorrow, we will take some time to rip open the stack of brightly colored boxes at the back of the room and enjoy their contents together. We'll take out the ten marbles they had to earn for the party and start earning more marbles for the next party.
