We are off to a great start in Mrs. Nelson's first grade classroom! It has been very warm in our classroom, but we are managing with many trips to the water fountain!
Backpack night was fun as I got to meet parents and siblings as the families helped bring in supplies for their special first grader. There are 16 students in our room made up of 10 boys and 6 girls.
The first few days were filled with activities to help my kiddos get acquainted with one another and learn how to work with a partner. Of course, we reviewed our school's PBIS expectations. I was so proud of my "firsties" as they exhibited wonderful behavior and could recite most of the rules. We use Class Dojo, an online classroom management tool, and the boys and girls were very excited to see their own special "avatar." Even though we have only used it a couple of days, the kiddos are already setting class and personal goals, as well as, looking forward to seeing the results at the end of each day.
I am very excited at the prospects for each and everyone of my special first graders. I know it is going to be a wonderful year filled with lots of fun, learning, and growth for each child.
