Our First Days Together

Hello again!

Our first days together have been a great success!  Thank you for sharing your children with me!

Before going out to recess, we brainstormed a few agreements of what we could do at that time.  The students were quick to point out when they were following an agreement on the yard and notice that it was working for them and the friends around them!













After getting a lot of their energy out, their bodies were giving them the message that they needed a snack!  So we came together again to think of some great snack choices that they could have at that time.  This is handy to help friends decide what to have for a quick snack, what to save for lunch, and what should be saved for dessert or a special treat!


Friends were excited to start working in the classroom and getting to know the materials available to them.  Their natural desire to to investigate, theorize, and create was inspiring to watch!













Since we are still getting to know what the rhythm of our day feels like, we came back together again to brainstorm more possibilities of things we could do at lunch to help it feel successful for everyone!

In our afternoon, we have the opportunity to spend some well earned time to relax and read books with friends.  This is a great time to get to know someone new and make connections!








At the end of our first day together, we celebrated getting through this new adventure together and captured the first of many group shots!


I'm looking forward to an amazing year together!

Love, Gaby
