ICE BREAKERS
On the first day of school, each student will be divide a blank paper into four sections and write in each section: 1) their favorite color, 2) favorite game/sport, 3) favorite person, 4) favorite animal. We will then sit in a circle and guess whose paper is whose to get to know one another.
We will also play - Wipe that Smile off your face. We will sit in a circle and one student starts by making a silly face - he/she gets a point for every child he/she makes laugh or giggle, then he/she wipes the smile off their face with his/her hand and passes it to the next student, who will do the same. The winner is who gets the most points.
OUR DAILY ROUTINE
Upon arrival at school each day, I will greet each student at the door with a smile and a high five. The student will then put their clip on green, if not already on green for the day before. The student will place their lunch boxes in the designated area, place their take home folder in a basket and put their backpacks away. They will then begin working on a morning activity sheet which will be located on their table.
We will go through our lessons and group projects throughout the day until it is time to pack up and prepare for ending the day. At the end of the day, we will always try to sit together in a group while I read a book before dismissal. We will take turns at choosing who picks out end of the day book to read daily.
