August 19, 2011

Well, we survived our first week! I don't know if the students felt it, but let me tell you something, we have an incredible class this year! Lots of amazing, sweet, wonderful kids waiting to have a wonderful 6th grade year. I'm right there with them. I hope this ends up being my best year yet!

Our picture from this week comes from the 6th grade team building activity we did. The classes were each given a scooter and a line of rope and told they had to cross the "crocidile infested waters", the width of a basketball court, without touching the "water". We did the activity two different days and it was truly amazing to see how much more team talking was going on the second day. They're well on their way to making our class a family.
We also started an art lesson on perspective. It won't be completed until Monday though, so more details on it will come. The rest of the week was spent learning policies and procedures, getting to know the students, and taking beginning of the year pre-assessments. You know, all of the boring, formality stuff that has to take place at the start of every year. But it's all done and I think we're ready to move forward and really see what this year has to offer!

All in all, I think if you were to ask the Magic 8 Ball, "Are we going to have a good year?" I'm positive this is what you'd see:
