Find a Friend

We played a new game called find a friend this week.  On the first day we found a friend who liked certain items, like ice cream or reading.  This helped us get to know one another.  The game was a BIG hit with the kids.  They loved learning about all their new friends in our class.  On the next day we played find a friend who could read the color words.  Then the following day we played find a friend who could read the number words.  Here are a few photos to enjoy!

First Day Jitters

We had a great first week of school to kick off this new year.  The students and I enjoyed many great activities as we began to get to know one another.  On the first day I read the class the book First Day Jitters.  Then we made our own little mobile with one thing that made us happy and one that made us nervous.  We, of course, enjoyed some "Jitter Juice" while we worked on our project.  Here are a few photos I snapped during the activity.
