Brown Bag Sharing

As you know, students have been learning more about one another through our "Brown Bag Share".  Here you see some of our friends sharing the contents of their brown bag.  Once they have shared their items they open themselves up to questions from classmates.  Above you see Emily sharing her favorite book series, her    

 blanket and some photos.  Nicholas looks on intently. 

Jitter Juice

Hello Everyone!! Here are some photos from the first week of school!  I read the story "First Day Jitters" to students and we talked about how we were feeling about starting school.  As a follow-up, we mixed up some "Jitter Juice",  drank it up, and  washed our jitters away!

 

Check out the smile box below of students tasting the Jitter Juice.  It was a big hit!
