We had a productive first couple of days! The kids learned many new class routines and are settling into the new classroom. We made class bracelets to show how we are a class family and that we are here to stay together to learn and grow. The kids decided what would be expected in our classroom during independent reading and during recess (see Dojo for photos!). The kids are off to a great start to the year!
