"I can't wait to come back tomorrow!"


Every teacher in the world loves the sounds of those words! What an incredible first day of school! Today is a day for many, many exclamation marks! Thank you to all the boys and girls for a most memorable day! I loved meeting you all and I can't wait to get to know you better! 

I have a tendency to over-plan, so needless to say, we probably only got through about half of what I wanted to, but that's okay, we have something like 190 days ahead of us! There's loads of time (says the lady who always wonders how June comes so quickly 🤣). 




We keep our water bottles on the tray and thank you to all the boys and girls for
bringing water instead of juice. 
I'd like to share with blog visitors the "big things" we covered today: 

  • we talked about "the Big 12" see pics below 
  • we learned about "Smartboard mode" 
  • we talked about those wonderful table points! 
  • students know that it's essential they get their agendas signed 
  • the Play-Doh was distributed! They know it's a big deal, but they don't really know what we'll be doing with it! 
  • We talked all about the importance of manners, and even "built" a bulletin board on our carpet. I have no room on the walls for it right now, so this had to do! 
  • We ate Goldfish crackers (because we're "Oh-fish-ally" in grade three you know!) 
  • we started an awesome (and very old) novel called "There's a Boy in the Girls Washroom". It's a perfect way to start the school year because the main character, Bradley, gets EVERYONE talking!  













Overall, it was a terrific day! I hope everyone gets their agenda signed tonight and comes to school with the three essentials: their manners, a sense of humor and a kind heart.  Oh, and don't forget those indoors shoes! I hear the teacher likes a clean classroom! 😉
