Our First Day! Hooray!

We had an amazing first day together!  Everyone was all smiles coming into class this morning!

 After chapel, we shared our names and 1 thing we did over the summer.  Then, we got to know each other even better by playing a game.  We broke into small groups and played 2 Truths and a Fib.  Everyone said 3 statements about themselves.  2 of those statements were true and 1 was false and the groups had to try and guess which one was the fib.  We had so much fun learning more about each other!

 We were ready for recess!  GaGa Ball is always a hit!

 Later in the morning we read a poem called "What Will I Pack In My Box Marked Summer" and everyone was asked to write at least 5 sentences telling what fun memories they have from their summer.  Everyone worked so hard. It was totally silent in our room!

 After lunch everyone was ready to listen to another story! 😊

 Another fun challenge we did today was Save Fred!  Everyone had to work in small groups to rescue Fred (gummy worm) from the top of his boat (plastic cup) and put his life preserver on him (gummy life saver)  All this had to be done without touching Fred with our hands, only with paperclips!  A lot of planning and team work was needed but several groups succeeded in saving poor Fred.

It was a fun, busy day but everyone had fun!  We ended the day with even more smiles!
