Hello! Welcome and welcome back! I was excited to see our returning students on Tuesday and welcome Kayla and Jack to Room 114 at Wines. For those of you who are new to us, this blog generally serves as a recap of our week. I try to take as many pictures as I can to share and some weeks I do better than others. I will try and post weekly, but it is occasionally a bi-weekly update. Some weeks are slow news weeks and some are intense with a lot to share! We are starting out with a superhero theme this year. The kids all made a superhero to hang in the classroom. The kids will also have the opportunity to earn "Brag Tags" that they will hang on a lanyard and be able to wear and feel proud of themselves. Brag tags can be earned for a number of things including a positive attitude, super sharing, having a great reading lesson, doing a great job in music class etc. I am starting a new curriculum with the class this year called "Behavior Basics." Each week we will have a behavioral expectation that we will be teaching. This week we learned our 5 Classroom Rules. Every day we will do a different activity that helps teach and reinforce the expectation. On Friday one of the activities we did was to give compliments to our classmates for following the five classroom rules. At the end of the day the kids and teachers read our compliments out loud to the recipient. You should see these come home every Friday- lucky for me, Jack's missed his backpack so I can share a photo of it here!! Our week was full of learning new routines, meeting new friends, and reconnecting with old ones. Have a great weekend everyone- excited to see what week 2 will bring!
