The Music Begins...

I hope that everyone enjoyed their first day of school! We spent time getting to know each other and toured their new school through a scavenger hunt. We even had the opportunity to watch a band play!

Today we got a real look into Kindergarten. We started Reader's, Writer's, and Math Workshops. They learned that there will be a mini-lesson, independent work period, and share time (students were very excited to share their work on the document camera!) for each workshop. We went over the rules and expectations for each of the workshops. Establishing rituals and routines is an essential part of starting the Kindergarten year.

I am looking forward to learning more about each individual student and watching their growth over the year!
