After meeting all of our new friends and teachers we got busy decorating our classroom with beautiful artwork. Our first project of the year was drawing portraits of ourselves on the first day of school to hang on our chalkboard.

After learning the classroom rules it was time for lunch and rest time. After rest we had a yummy snack then closed our first day with the first pep rally of the year! We had so much fun learning all about Wabbits having H.E.A.R.T. and getting to stand up to be recognised as new students at HSS!

On Tuesday we learned how to play in centers and spent some time playing with a partner.

Lawson and Abbie enjoyed a good book in Reading Center.

Anna and Caleb built vehicles in Blocks Center.

Lucy and Samantha matched Oreo shapes in Games Center.

Elise listened to Leo the Lion in Listening Center.

Nicholas and Elida stamped masterpieces in Art Center.

Thomas and Lilly played a measure and sort game in Science Center.

Mira and Preston practiced number sequencing in Math Center.

Etchieson and Mason enjoyed dressing up as a Vet and a Construction Worker in Housekeeping Center.

Annie and Luke practiced writing and tracing letters with chalk and dry erase markers in Handwriting Center.

Tuesday was also the day that we took a tour around our school to meet teachers and staff who help us.

We met Mrs.Eichelmann our Librarian.

We met Mrs.Palazzi our Technology Coordinator.

We met Me.Brune our Athletic Director and Mrs. Miller our PE teacher.

We met Mrs.Korte our Nurse, Mrs.Handloser our Assistant Principal, and Mrs.Suski our Secretary. Mrs.Dobbins was in a meeting so we will have to make another special trip to meet our Principal.

We met Mrs.Golliday our Music Teacher.

We visited the Church where we will attend Mass starting in October.

We ended our tour in the cafeteria where we met our cafeteria staff Mr.Ricky and Ms.Charlotte.

We are so thankful for all of the people who help us around our school!

On Wednesday as we continued to learn all about the rules of our classroom and school, we read a story called No, David! about a little boy who had a hard time following the rules. After we read our story we had our first lesson in using our glue sticks the right way and we glued together our own Davids. They hang in our classroom as fun decorations but also as reminders to do the right thing!

On Thursday we had our first guided drawing lesson of the year. I'm sure you could guess that our first guided drawing was of an owl! Guided drawings are one of my favorite art projects because even being given the same directions each student's work turns out wonderfully unique!

On Friday we read a story about a sweet raccoon named Chester in the Kissing Hands who was a little scared to start school. But with reassurance from his mom and a special kiss on his hand he had a great first day. After reading the story we made our own Chester raccoons!
