Some things we did together:

**Pop Quiz** 

Today we discussed what it means to be a good listener. What does a great listener do with his/her:

·      Eyes?

·      Ears?

·      Brain?

·      Hands?

·      Feet?

·      Bottom? (Even that helps us listen!)

If your child needs reminders, check out the poster that we made after reading, “David Goes to School.” We helped David learn how to be an awesome listener:

I had such a great time today getting to know each and every first grader in our class! We have a fabulous group, and I cannot wait for us to learn, grow, and have fun together!

Coming up tomorrow:

*We will go to art! 

*We will begin setting our Hopes and Dreams for first grade!

*We will review our 5 classroom rules and start classroom jobs!

*We will learn (at least) 2 new games!

Check out some pictures from our first two days below! Thanks and I am looking forward to another great day tomorrow. :-)
