Week 2!

This week we continued to establish a sense of community in our classroom and become familiar with daily routines.

Students thoughtfully chose a breathing buddy to aid them in mindfulness activities this year.

Self portraits are finished and hanging in the hallway for all to enjoy!

We worked on our classroom rules all week: First brainstorming, then narrowing them down to the top 5,  followed by rewording them in positive language, and finally illustrating them.

We've continued to work on our independent reading stamina this week.  As you can see, significant progress has been made!

The students voted.  Our class name is... The Ice Owls!  Here is our class quilt hanging by our door.

On Friday Mrs. Wolinsky introduced the basics of using ipads in the classroom.  She will be a regular in our room, teaching us thoughtful ways to utilize these wonderful tools.

Friday is our library day.  Students picked out books this week!  Please help your child remember to bring back all library books each Friday so they can pick out new literary treasures to take home!
