The first day of school! Today we had lots of fun. We started off the morning taking a tour of the school. We found the restrooms, the teachers lounge, the office, the nurse, the police officers office, the music room, the lunch room, the pe room, the art room, the playground, where to line up AND our own classroom.

Next we took a tour around our own classroom.

After the tour I, Miss Tracy, told the class all about me. I showed everyone pictures of me and my family and friends and shared stories about myself. Then everyone in class wrote a letter to me so I could learn about all the students in our class. We even used the correct format for letter writing, heading, greeting, body, closing, signature.

Next we took a dive into our reading books. We played a fun word game called rivet and then read a story called Miss Nelson is Missing. As we read this story we talked about how the students in the story were behaving and how we could be like them and NOT like them.

Finally, it was time for lunch and recess. After lunch we jumped into math. We counted by 1's, 2's and 5's forward and backward. We also looked all around our room for numbers. For our homework tonight we have to find out different numbers that tell about ourselves.

When math was over we packed up our things to go to music. We met Mrs. Marcy our music teacher for the year. We listened to the Olympics theme song that we will be able to hear on Friday night during the opening ceremonies of the Olympics.

It was a great day!!!
