Each student was also greeted at their seat by a survival goodie bag. Each item in their bag had meaning for a successful year. We discussed what each item meant.
Laffy Taffy- We are going to laugh a lot together this year
Eraser- We will make mistakes, but that is how we learn. And, if we make a mistake and say something we shouldn't have, we use "I am sorry" as our eraser.
Bookmark- We all have a place in this class and we will read many, many books this year.
Pencil- We will go on many writing adventures this year, too!
Smarties- We will get smarter in many different ways.
Stickers- We have to stick together as a class and help each other out.
Plah-Doh- We have to be flexible!
We gave the kids some time to get to know who they are sitting next to and relax a little as they played with their Play-Doh. Here are some pictures of our Play-Doh time!
