First Day of School!

The 4th graders were excited to come to the classroom today. They found their lockers and desks and busied themselves with a word search while waiting on their classmates to arrive.

In our Morning Meeting today we practiced greeting one another with eye contact and a firm handshake. The students wished one another “Good morning” by name. They all shared about one fun thing they did over the summer, and we played a game of ‘Quiz, Quiz, Trade.” This got everyone up and moving, as well as interacting with one another.

We also went over our schedule, practiced a few procedures and enjoyed a read-aloud. Then the class was off to Mr. Mogle! When 4-M arrived, we learned a bit about the classroom, and then we played the same game and read the same book. A Letter from Your Teacher will lead into a writing assignment later in the week.

All 4th graders enjoyed a brief recess together and a school-wide assembly in Brown. Mr. Stabler introduced new faculty & students and set some expectations for the year. It was a great day – short & sweet!
