Our first week

We have a very successful first week of Kindergarten!! Some things we learned were:
  • Everyone's names
  • How to quickly and quietly line up
  • Our school's umbrella rule
    • Be safe
    • Be friendly
  • Playground rules
  • How to get ready for whole group instruction
  • Our quiet signal ("Give me 5")
  • Bathroom signal and procedures of going to the bathroom (lock the door, flush, wash hands, use 2 paper towels)
  • How to punch our lunch numbers in
  • What makes a good listener
    • Eyes on the speaker
    • Sit criss cross applesauce with hands in your lap
    • Voice is quiet
    • Ears listening
    • Raise your hand if you have something to say

We talked about our hopes and dreams for this school year. Students drew a picture of what they hoped to achieve this year. I helped them write out what their hope or dream was and we posted our clouds in the hall.

It was a great first week and it will be a wonderful year!
