Welcome to our new school year! It was great to see the boys and girls!
We started our day learning more about each other. We playing a fun game of "Would you rather...." It was neat to learn the things we all have in common.
We spent some time talking about our classroom rules and expectations. They are conscientious students and want to do well in school. I know they are going to be a wonderful class.
Next, we discussed some of the things for which we wished. We then looked at folklore about wishes such as wishbones, coins in fountains, eyelashes, dandelions etc.
Then the students each wrote four wishes of their own. After lunch, they made a very special wish project that will be on display at our Open House on Thursday, October 3rd between 5:30-7:00 PM here in our SAGE classroom.
In the afternoon, we discussed ways we can communicate. Besides blogging as a class, we will also be sharing our learning on Twitter.
Each of the students designed a bird of their own and posted their first "tweet" outside of our classroom on our bulletin board.
It is going to be a great school year! Don't hesitate to call of email me if you or your child have any questions or concerns.
