I'm a little late getting started this school year, but am getting it done now! Let me just say how wonderful the start of this school year has been so far. It's not the organizational aspect of it all, the planning of it all, or even the fun activities that I'm excited about getting started with that is making the beginning of this school year so great. It's the kids! I'm absolutely loving my sweet, sweet students. They are proving themselves to be go- getters, mannerly, collaborators, team-players, kind and understanding about others, and they seem to be enjoying school so far. Usually by now, as a teacher, you've already met which one is going to be that "little bugger"! Laugh Out Loud!!!! So, I have to say that I haven't met mine and seeing as how we're into the middle of September, I don't think I'm going to! How awesome is that?
We have started the school year out with plenty of excitement. We took a week to get to know one another through various activities designed to help us be friendly and appreciate the value of our classmates. Then, we got busy with setting up all of our schools supplies and pocket subject folders. We formed some beginning reading groups and flexible reading partnerships. We've even taken a few STAR tests to see where we might need to begin some small group instruction for reading and math! Fun, fun, plenty of fun! :)
