We also read a book called 'First Day Jitters'. It had a surprise ending. Ask your child what that ending was!! We enjoyed some jitter juice and made a trail mix for a successful school year. Here are a few pictures of that:
We started sharing our favorite books! WOW!! Do we LOVE some great books! Here is a glimpse at some of what we like to read:
We worked hard at creating our classroom promise as well. We read 3 books, 'Officer Buckle and Gloria', 'Have You Filled a Bucket Today?', and 'The Little Engine That Could', and came up with lots of good ideas. Here's what our promise says: When we care about each other and our classroom, we always tell the truth, we share what we have, we are bucket-fillers all the time. We listen carefully, try our best and have fun together. We treat others the way we want to be treated. We understand that everyone makes mistakes. We help each other learn and when someone asks us to stop, we stop. This is who we are, even when no one is watching.
We all promised to do this by writing our names and creating our faces.
We ended our week by celebrating Dominick's 7th birthday. Wow, if this is a sign of how much fun we are going to have this year, we better get lots of rest.
