Today was a great first full day for the Heroes. We learned more routines and
procedures for our classroom. We started the day by organizing our school
supplies (a big THANK YOU for all of the wonderful donations) and practicing our morning routine. The students did a great job remembering what to do when the bell rang, and I even saw some of them being Heroes to other Dolphins by telling them what to do. Take some time to pick out a book that your child could keep in their backpack so they can take it out and read it each morning.
We enjoyed a fantastic story, Wolf by Becky Bloom, which is about a wolf who learns to read in order to fit in with the educated animals at the farm. After snack time, we went to art for the first time and earned three marbles out of five. Mrs. Yerby said we needed to work on listening when the teacher is talking, controlling our voice levels, and raising our hand to speak. After art, we talked bout playground boundaries and how to be safe, respectful, and a learner on the playground. We walked through our new lunch procedure and then did a great job patiently waiting for our lunch (which was delivered late for the whole school!). Our Present Party followed lunch and the students ripped into the presents, which contained over 1000 books for our classroom library. The students loved opening the presents, examining the books, reading the books, and sharing them with classmates. We ended the day working on developing categories for our books and organizing our class library.
