Oh my goodness! What a whirlwind of a day! Like many other school days for a teacher, the first day is jam packed and pedal to the metal! I am so excited about this years’ class! They are smart, energetic, and just darn cute!
The first few days always consist of a lot of talking on my part… Going over rules, consequences, procedures, and our routines. But this class is so bright, they already knew most of what to do and how to do it!
I read aloud one of my all time favorites for the first day of school: First Day Jitters by Julia Danneberg.
The students and I shared our jitters we might have had for the first day and even wrote about it!
Recess was a warm one today, but totally worth the fresh air and the running around the children got to do. With our new schedule this year, we’ll be having snack outside during recess time. Today I made a little something for the kids for snack, just to let them know I’m super blessed to have them in my class…
Dismissal was somewhat chaotic, like most first days, but we’ll get it done perfectly tomorrow! As a reminder for parents, now that your child is in 2nd grade, they need to be dropped off and picked up in the back of the school, near the cafeteria. The only reason they should be dropped off or picked up in the front is if they have a younger sibling in kindergarten or first grade. If there’s any questions or concerns about this, just let me know and we’ll get it straightened out!
Alright, its bedtime for this exhausted teacher. I’ve got to get some serious shut-eye to keep up with these 2nd graders!
