Day 2!

It was so nice to see so many smiling faces this morning!  We began our day with morning meeting and share a food that we really like to eat.  We learned how to use our hand to show when we make a connection with someone else because many students shared the same favorite foods!  After Morning Meeting we had some time on the playground and then students met their music teacher Ms. Schwerin.  They will have music on Thursday and Friday mornings.  

After snack we talked about what it means to be kind and I read the book The Kindness Quilt.  Students shared examples of kindness and we discussed how when you do something kind like share a toy or read a story to a friend you are making them feel good.  In the coming weeks we will begin thinking about how we can write and draw about acts of kindness we notice in the classroom.   

We also had our first fire drill of the school year and Kindergarten did a great job covering their ears for the loud sound and moving outside quietly and safely.

Our day ended with a chance to play and a closing circle.  We watched a short video on kindness and talked about how being kind makes the world a brighter ,better place!
