What a great start. We have learned so much about each other, played some high energy team building games and written brilliant sentences about ourselves.
We are getting familiar with the materials we can use to extend our understanding and practicing strategies that make learning fun and successful for everyone.
I have had such a great time getting to know my new students and their families. The best part is always watching the students sparking off of each other's ideas and passions. 
Tomorrow we'll share the drawings students did based on the mental images that came to them while reading. Over the coming weeks we will work on this strategy for making deep meaning and connecting to what we read.
Tomorrow will also be our first Friday Math Jam. A few family members who were in the building indicated that they would be willing to come and help run a few math stations. I will reach out to everyone else who is interested in coming or taking work home to help out as our routines fall into place. As always, you are welcome to stop by or contact me whenever you have a chance.
Thanks to Ms. Layman for the PE parachute photo.
