First Day of School

Today was a great day focused on building community and getting to know each other.  We had a lot of fun and laughed a lot.  We started off the day by sitting in a circle and telling each other a little bit of what we did over the summer break.  After that we had a ball of yarn and when it was passed to us we shared something about ourselves that we wanted the class to know about.  When we finished we each had a piece of string that showed how we were all connected.  Then we worked together in groups to put together a puzzle. 

During the afternoon we had our very first school assembly, M Gomes talked about expectations that he has for us during assemblies and we learned a new way to clap to show our support and appreciation of others.  We were also introduced to all of the new staff in the building and of course our new vice principal Mme Romeo.  After, we went back to our room and some of us shared our "All About me" bags.  

We ended the day with Phys Ed.  It was a great day, we were  all very tired and excited that it was the weekend so that we could recharge for the upcoming week ahead.
