Our Classroom, Our "2nd Home"

Our Classroom, Our "2nd Home"

• Today I taught the girls that our classroom is a special place. I want them to be comfortable and feel safe at all times! We discussed our Classroom Rules together. We have 5 rules: (1) Listen to the speaker (2) Raise your hand to speak or leave your seat (3) Always be honest (4) Be a caring friend (5) Always try your best. 

• We learned how we can be safe in the hallway and in other rooms around the school. Our safety is very important, especially during emergencies. We discussed how First Grade is really fun and is filled with lots of learning and responsibilities! Together we made a chart on what first graders CAN, HAVE, ARE, WILL and NEED. These are the girls' answers!

• WE LOVE OUR NEW CLASSROOM!  We walked around and explored our Math Center, Classroom Library, Morning Meeting Area, and other places. We also are learning how to share and communicate with our friends at our table. There are so many exciting things! New books, new desks, new cubbies and more!
