The First Day

Ah...it's almost 8:00 and I am ready for bed.  The first day is sure tiring!  We had just two learning targets today:
1. I can follow our school and classroom rules and procedures.
2. I can get to know my classmates and teachers.

Just those two targets kept us busy all day.  There was so much to teach: how to come into our classroom in the morning, how we walk in the hallway, and how we follow our rules on the playground.  It was great to get to know this new group of students.  I had a chance to see some creativity and see the spark of curiosity in students as they talked about their hopes for the year.  Tomorrow we'll be doing more rules and procedures and hopefully by the afternoon we'll be ready to jump into some content.
