Day 3...Back To School Night

This morning, when the students came in, they unpacked, read their morning message, and continued working on the "FIRST DAY" activity.  They went to math, after the announcements.

In my math class, we began by completing the "Getting to Know You by the Numbers" activity.  After that, we spent some time learning names.  Then, we watched, and discussed a Learn Zillion lesson about comparing multi-digit numbers.  When the math class returned from lunch and outdoor recess, they signed in to Xtra Math and completed their first session...this should have been easy...but NO!  The process was frustrating, and therefore, took up the final 20 minutes of math.  Oh well!  :-(

After math, we updated Class Dojo points, learned about the bathroom sign-in/out process, discussed Back to School Night, and began writing our blog entry.

Next, the children began working on a Back to School Night, All About Me, activity.  Then they went to music with Mrs. Graf.

When they returned to the classroom, they ate their snack as we began our writing lesson.  First, we read and discussed, Wizzil, by William Steig.  Then, they wrote, silently, for 15 minutes about a topic of their choice.  Finally, a few children volunteered to share their writing with the class.

We ended the day by working towards completing the All About Me activity.

Back to School Night is at 6:30 this evening.
