First off, welcome back! I hope that you enjoyed our first day of class. I sure was very happy to see all of you there and as I said last night I am sure we will be seeing some new kids in our class either on Thursday or next week. Please be prepared to welcome them.
For those of you who missed this is what we did. We went over the Student Info Letter that I hand out at the beginning of each semester. I explained all the notecards that I would like to see handed in on Thursday. We also added everyone to our classroom group. For snack kids either ate their lunch or we had cookies and cereal. It was very fun to go around the room and hear what everyone likes about themselves and what they would like to be when they grow up. We had some pretty interesting answers to those questions.Before class was let out I partnered everyone in the class. These will be your friendship buddies. Each week I would like you to spend time with your friendship buddy. It doesn't matter what you are doing. It can be shopping, it can be building, or just hanging out at home ... the activity doesn't matter to me. The point is to get to know someone and hopefully make a new forever friend. On Thursdays I would like you to hand in just a quick notecard about the time you spent with your buddy. This will be your only homework on Tuesdays along with a journal assignment. This week I am not requiring buddy time or a journal assignment for Tuesday, because we are still getting settled into class. The buddy pairs are listed below and if you do not have a buddy please let me know.
