First Day of School

Ms. Martinez, our student teacher, and I really enjoyed getting to know the fourth graders today.  The kids 'sent us' a post card to share a favorite memory from the summer.  We read a book about a student that thought the teacher put a "Math Curse" on the class.  The kids worked with a partner to purchase 'school supplies' on a math worksheet, then created their own word problems to challenge their partner. After completing an "All About Me" activity, we learned some of the students favorite classes, movies, books, and animals.  We ended our day by writing a "Memory Book" post about something the students learned or want to remember about their first day of school.
