What a week of Welcome! Summer may be over, but wow what a good week for weather!
It has been great getting to know everyone this week! We truly have some superstars in this class and I cannot wait to get started on our learning journey together!
This week we started off with some activities that helped us get to know one another, as well as, learn about our classroom and new routines.
Here is a sneak peak into our room!
Students were sorted into their houses on the first day. Students can gain points for their house for class participation, leadership in classroom routines, and positive behaviours.
To learn about each other students filled out their own WANTED WIZARD/WITCH posters! Each student filled out a form including some information about a few of their favourite things. Then using google drawings, students learned how to add their image to create their very own wanted poster.
To create a safe and comfortable classroom for all, students worked in groups to define what makes a Star Student and a Terrific Teacher. In groups students brainstormed what a Star Student Says, Is, Does, and Does not. Then I asked them what they liked to hear and see from their teachers. This is great because it gives me a little insight to who each new group of students are and what they value.

As a first writing project, I of course wanted to hear about everyone's summers! We shared some of our favourite memories and then students created their own Summer Seflies! Picking one memory, we discussed how when writing we need to make sure to cover our bases and describe When, Who, What, Where, Why and How you felt about your experience!
Our week finished off with Rodzilla! Rodzilla blends science and magic to show the kiddos some pretty cool tricks! One of our own was called up first!
A Few Reminders:
- No School next Friday (Sept. 15); PD Day.
