Glance at a Golden Week- FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL! 9.7.18

What a FANTASTIC first week of school! I have really enjoyed getting to know each student more. I can’t wait to see what this year has to bring! It’s going to be AWESOME!

Thank you, grandparents and special friends, for joining us for lunch today! We also enjoyed a visit from Pete O., who kicked off our Fall Fundraiser! Be sure to check your child’s folder for details and return the “Golden Ticket” on Monday.

A LOOK INTO ROOM 8:

We kicked the school year off with a week full of getting to know each other and establishing a positive, safe environment! Each morning we held joint meetings with Miss Capano’s class to discuss our Essential 3 and the character trait of the month (Respect). Be sure to ask your student what the Essential 3 are and how we are working towards a whole class reward through character!

To break up our days, we shared family photos for our #family wall, popped balloons to learn about classroom routines, took brain breaks, explored the classroom libraries in our room & Miss Capano’s room, and built our team building skills with STEAM activities.
