Well, Week One is officially in the books. And it was a great first week!
I made a promise to myself that this year I would not rush into curriculum, but rather, I would spend more time setting up routines, procedures, expectations, and I would build our classroom community.
We did just that!
We talked a lot about our school rules (SEARCH Guidelines... we are the Explorers)
Safety for all
Eager to Learn
Accountable for actions
Respectful to all
Cooperative with others
Have a Bully Free School
Mostly we talked about what this looked like when we are in the classroom, hallway, lunch (gym), and at recess.
We talked a lot about my behavior management system.
I have never had so many students end their day on pink!!! I loved signing the "Outstanding" notes each day, too!
I loved getting to know my students this week. Each day I had a "get to know you" activity planned.
We talked about our First Day Feelings with the help of Nemo
We shared interesting information about ourselves with M&Ms :) thank you She's Crafty for this great idea!
We practiced being Bucket Fillers! Thank you Alisha {Bubbly Blonde Teacher} for the freebie!!!
My 2nd graders are awesome bucket-fillers so far! They totally get it!! Tomorrow we are making our Bucket-filler book, I can't wait to hear their ideas!
We also made our All About Me pennants :) They turned out great!

Whelp! I am ready for this coming week. Plans are made and I am ready to take on our first full week!
But I'm not going to lie... I am ready for next weekend, too :)
I love having so much time with my husband... love it!
