Wow! I can't believe summer is over and the new school year is already here. I attended many awesome workshops this summer and am excited about what this year has in store.
My kids are a very diverse group with a lot of energy. Over the next few weeks we will work especially hard on procedures, procedures, procedures . I feel this will make our year more enjoyable as it should save time otherwise spent on discipline problems.
We are also working on developing a safe and family oriented classroom environment. Today each child decorated a large puzzle piece. I put their name and picture on the piece and we put our puzzle together on a bulletin board. The title of the board is "We Are A Perfect Fit".
Because August 3 is Watermelon Day, we participated in fun activities that focused on watermelons. We estimated the weight, predicted if the watermelon would sink or float, read the story The Enormous Watermelon, painted paper plate watermelon slices and of course ate watermelon!
