What an awesome first week (really 3 days) that we had! It has been SO fun to jump back in with this incredible bunch of kids. It is like we never even left each other and it made me so excited for all this year holds. This week we did lots of team building and classroom environment activities to reestablish our procedures and essential agreements for the year. I have attached some pictures below. And...I brought back the crowd favorite of friendship salad to tie off the week and remind us how important kindness is in our class family.
Next week, we will continue to do many of the beginning of the year assessments as well as familiarizing ourselves with our various workshop models and our first IB unit. You can find the curriculum updates below.
Important Dates:
August 14- ASP Open House
August 20- Fall Picture Day
August 21- Room Parent Orientation
August 21- Los Bravos Spirit Night
August 24- All Pro Dads
August 30- PTA and IB information Night
