First Week Fun in Room 31!

Wow! What a whirlwind of a week, and the students were only here 3 days! We've had a super start to Grade 5! The students are a fantastic group of young people; already eager to learn new things!

We had an assembly on the first day. It was great for the students to put a face to the name of our new principal, Mrs. Palamar. We organized our supplies, took first day photos, and got to know one another through various activities. I started reading the book "Wonder" out loud during snack. It's about Grade 5 students . . . so pretty much the most perfect novel to read right now!

On Day 2, we did some "book shopping", tried attendance on the SMARTBoard, worked on an awesome team-building activity at our table groups, had an intro lesson on the SMARTBoard, and started an art job. The team-building activity was to create structures using cups, string and an elastic band . . . without using hands to actually touch the cups! The best part of my day was hearing the cheers when a table group accomplished a task. It was SO cool! Pictures to be posted soon!  :)

Today, we signed up for classroom jobs, learned how to do number of the day for math, wrote a review about our first week, and continued working on our art job.

It has been a great week, and that's all thanks to YOU. Have a fantastic weekend and rest up!
