Great First Day

Do you get the first day jitters?  I know I certainly do.  Even though I am in my 8th year of teaching I still get nervous about the first day back.  I just want everything to go perfect and my students to love school!  Our first day back was certainly a success.  My favorite part was definitely the school scavenger hunt.  We broke into teams and went around the building taking group pictures and selfies with some of our favorite and most helpful people....principals, staff, nurse, etc.  Check out our fun!

We always start our morning with circle up.  We like to get to know each other.  Relationship building is an important life skill!  Someone gets to hold the talking stick and share how they are today on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best), what they did last night, and what they ate for dinner.

We just love our peer tutors.  Although Marco graduated last year and is about to head off to UK, he stopped by to see the students and wish us luck on a great year!
