Our school year is certainly off to a great start and it's hard to believe we've only been in school for 4 short days! This week the children learned all about our classroom, school, and the other students in our class!
Scavenger Hunt!
On Wednesday the children put their knowledge of Room 202 to the test as they went on a classroom scavenger hunt! Finding the calendar, their cubby, and the classroom library were just a few of the stops on their list.
Classroom Rules
We spent a great deal of time last week talking about the rules and expectations for our classroom. After reading stories such as David Goes to School and Miss Nelson is Missing, we brainstormed our own set of rules for Room 202. We were able to consolidate our very length list into three major behavior expectations: Be Kind, Be Safe, and Be Respectful! We learned that when we follow these three rules then we are able to have fun!
The students above sign our classroom rules poster and include their fingerprint making our classroom rules/promises VERY official!:)
Where is the Gingerbread Man?
Later in the week we went on a hunt for the Gingerbread Man who was loose in Boyden School! While we searched locations such as the office, cafeteria, and innovation lab, it seems as though he was too fast for us to catch! Luckily our hunt had a happy ending as the Gingerbread Man left us a fun activity to complete when we returned to our classroom!
Nothing like a little Free Choice fun on a Friday afternoon!
Our first few days in Kindergarten were a huge success! I'm looking forward to continuing our work together next week! :)
