First Day!

Welcome to the first day of 4th Grade Purple in the 2015-16 school year.  I am SO excited to be working with this group of children, and I know we're going to have a fabulous year.  The smiles, laughter, learning and joy that I've already seen in the classroom has been welcoming and encouraging.

Today we've done a myriad of activities - from getting to know each other (2 Truths & A Lie), to exploring the room (I Spy), to group work tasks (classroom expectations), to representing ourselves in numbers and words (Bloom Where You Grow, Math About Me).  The students have been busy doing their very best work and showing what a terrific group of 4th graders they are. :)
