Above: Exploring materials and free centers.
Recess on the lower field on Wednesday. This seems to be the kids favorite playground so far. We were the only class down there at the time, and there is lots of room for running.
Here are the ingredients used in our success trail mix. We made it for snack on the first day of school. Then, a week later we reviewed the ingredients (effort, honesty, kindness, curiosity, teamwork, excitement to learn, fairness, and pride in your work). We discussed each of these traits/fancy words and talked about how we could use them in our classroom. Students received another bag of the trail mix on the 19th to share with somebody at home. I hope the treat made it home safely! (Inspired by travelingtogether.wordpress.com which was linked to pinterest.)
