First Day - In Students' Words

We learned a new game.  We were writing on an owl page.  We did a word search.  We did a name game.  We had recess.  

The Room is Ready

I enjoy spending time in the classroom each summer getting it ready for my students. 

I painted the book cases (they used to be red and brown) to make them look a little nicer.

We have so many good books to read!

Informational bulletin board: calendar, birthdays, jobs, procedures....

It is my first year of matching tables, too!

This is the bulletin board by the door.

And our hallway decorations -- just lacking student work

Inservice Day 2

We learned some new strategies for teaching opinion writing today.  Mrs. Hernan, Miss Ricca and I also finished our lesson plans for next week.  I have tomorrow off, and then I finally get to meet my students on Thursday.  

T Minus 2 days.

Today was our first day of inservice.  It was fun to see all of the other teachers again.  We had a lot of meetings! I have one more work day and one day off before students come on Thursday.  I am anxiously awaiting their arrival.
