Day 1 Down | 179 Days to Go!

I am pleased to report that Day 1 went off without a hitch in Room 9! The kids were attentive, focused, and excited to start their Grade 4 journey together.

As students arrived to class this morning, they each wrote an adjective on our white board describing "how you are feeling right now." Their responses at 8:00 indicated a number of anxious/nervous students.

However, just 5 hours later, when I repeated the exercise, student responses were vastly different, i.e., the butterflies had subsided. During Closing Circle, a number of students indicated they were "tired." It was a long, hot day in Room 9, but every student left Room 9 with a smile on his/her face!
