It Was Great To Meet You!

Hello Andrew, Anthony, Ashley, Bo, Eli, Fiona, Ivanna, Jack, John (Jack), Kai, Lainey, Lauren, Lincoln, Lyla, Merrick, Mikayla, Preston, and Vivanna!

Thank you so much for coming out and getting to know our classroom!  It was so much fun seeing all the new faces and getting to know a little bit about each other.  I can already tell this is going to be a year full of wonder and excitement!  It feels like I have butterflies in my stomach!

As friends trickled in, many took the opportunity to get to know the classroom and started thinking about some essential questions to help start off the new year!

Which attributes help you determine which
items belong in the same group?

How many ways can you use sorting and
sifting to make different groups?

How do you organize your work?



What can you infer by looking at these
specimens about their habitat?

What can you tell about the different
parts of their body and how they work?

What would these creatures need to live a
happy and healthy life?




Others took a moment to fill out some of the surveys, brainstorms, and guest book found in various parts of our classroom.

How many siblings do you have?

What's your favorite animal?

What would you like to investigate this year?




 Also, some friends took it upon themselves to start a very exciting investigation in the classroom!
How does a magnet work?

Which materials are magnetic and which are not?

How will you organize your work so that it is clear to others?




Lastly, if you didn't have the chance to sit down and take the Parent Survey, please take a moment and fill it out now to better help me get to know your and your child's interests!

Thank you again for coming in to say hello!  Have a great night and I'll see you all again on Tuesday!

Love, Gaby
