We had a fantastic first week here at Angell School! We spent much of the week learning routines, getting to know one another through whole group "Find a Friend Bingo" as well as partner interviews. Students shared what they discovered about their partner with the whole group.
We also explored many of the math tools we will be using this year, and described what we think each tool is used for. We read a great book called "Ralph Tells a Story", about a boy who just has "nothing to write about!!". Afterwards, each student created his/her own list of personal writing topics that to refer to when writing personal narratives.
Creating a positive classroom community is an essential piece of having a successful school year, and this group of children did some great work in building that foundation this week. I am truly looking forward to our year together.
