Happy First Day!

Well, we made it! The first day is always crazy, but I can promise you I have never had a first day go this well. What a sweet, SWEET, sweet class I have this year.

We had a busy busy first day! When the kids got here, there were some nerves and a few tears, but mostly smiles. We practiced our morning routine, took a tour of our school, and created our class rules.  Can you tell these rules were created by the kids themselves?
Ms. Clemmers Class Rules

1.     Follow all school rules.
2.     Be nice to your friends.
(No bullying or picking on other kids. No making fun of other kids.)
3.      Tell the teacher if someone is hurt.
4.    Keep your hands, feet, and teeth to yourself.
5.     Raise your hand to walk or talk.
6.     No talking when the teacher is talking.
7.     Always tell the truth.
8.    Do your own work. Do not copy your buddies work.
9.     Work hard, sing loud, laugh a lot and have fun in first grade!


Hallway Rules
1.     No talking in the hallway.
2.     Keep your hands by your sides or in your pockets.
3.      Feet behind feet and eyes following the line.
4.    No cutting in line.
5.     No running.

My personal favorite? Keep your teeth to your self! Obviously, someone had a biting experience.

After that, we went to lunch. The kids lunch and hallway behavior was awesome. We came back to the classroom after lunch and read one of my personal favorite books, Wemberly Worried. The children talked all about their first days worries, and we even wrote about them some. After that we celebrated Macy and Hunter's birthdays with cupcakes that Macy's family sent in. Macy and Hunter got to sit in the special chair while we read the birthday story. Too fun!

We also took our first trip to the big playground. After that, we went to P.E. and then it was time to go home. We had a wonderful first day. I do have some pictures to post of the children, but my camera cord is at home so that will jut have to wait until Ms. Clemmer goes home and gets in my comfy clothes and gets a little bit of rest. First grade is exhausting!

Have a great night! Hope to see everyone at Sonic for dinner tomorrow!
