Dear Families,
Thank you for your patience this morning, as the first day of school is extremely busy! We were very excited to see your children this morning. We missed them over the summer. We have a few new faces in the bunch and are excited to get to know them as well. If you haven't already, please send indoor shoes for tomorrow. Students are welcome to bring a reusable water bottle as well. A letter will be coming home today for you to read and review.
This morning, we had a chat about our summers and all the things we have been doing over the last few months. We read the book "First Day Jitters" and were so surprised in the end. Ask me why. We talked about some changes in routine, such as bathroom routines and lunch routines (we now eat in the second half of the lunch hour). We got our new school supplies and used a Glyph to make a coat hook tag and a helper tag. Ask me what a glyph is. We had recess with all the other grade 2's. This afternoon, we began writing about our summer. Ms. Keir went over how to write a title and how to write an exciting opening sentence. We are going to finish our writing tomorrow. We had a break outside this afternoon and a snack. We then started the second book of "The Land of Stories" called The Enchantress Returns.
