Whew! This was our first week and I'm still exhausted after sleeping in this morning!
We had so much fun this week though. We learned our Whole Brain Teaching rules, practiced for a fire drill, started Daily Five, and made some cute craftivities!
We read The Crayon Box That Talked during our first class meeting. I have an autistic student again this year so we had a class discussion on how we are all 'different colors' in our classroom's crayon box and we are all an important color.
It's a cute story if you've never read it before. The crayons in the box realize that it takes all the different colors to make a pretty picture.
I told my kiddos it would be really boring for me if there were 20 Mrs. Seymour's in my class! It's such a cute story and great to use to show that every kiddo is important.
Here's a close up! Sorry it's sideways!!
We also made guitars this week to go with our Rock Star theme. I took pictures of my kiddos on the first day and I will hang those up next week between their guitars.
Click *HERE* to go purchase your own guitar! It's actually an end of the year craft, but I use it at the beginning and at the end of the year. They say First Grade Rocks right now and at the end of the year they will say First Grade Rocked! :) She has included signs up to fifth grade.
The banner on top says Mrs. Seymour's Rock Stars.
It says First Grade Rocks on the top and I love first grade on the white part.
Well I'm off to a late breakfast with my dad....his treat! :) Then I need to relax after such a long week. Have a great weekend friends!
