First Week Over

Wow!!! The first week is over and I'm beat tired. It's so good to have the students back. We spent this opening week getting to know each other. We did a variety of ice breaking activities. My favorite was called "clumping". This activity had the students coming together based on certain attributes. It was fun watching them figuring out whether or not they belong to a certain group. This week also allowed me to discuss what my expectations are for this year and what I expect of them in the classroom. I'm using this weekend to recharge and I'm looking forward to week two.
