New Kiddos!

Two days into first grade, and I am loving my new set of first graders. I only had one crier on the first day, and the second morning was smooth sailing. They have been so quiet and polite! When we were practicing lining up during the first hour of the day, I couldn't hear a peep as they were standing so steadily in line. They seem to be a very affectionate group too, as I have already received many hugs from them!

Yesterday, we talked about finding good reading spots in the classroom and afterwards, we had our first independent reading, albeit for 5 minutes. For 5 minutes, you could hear as pin drop as they snuggled up with a book and sat in a cozy spot. When we shared afterwards, so many kids talked about how calm and peaceful it was when it was so quiet in the room! I'm definitely looking forward to learning more about all of their talents and interests in the upcoming days!

To be honest, I am excited about having a day off today! I definitely needed to catch up on my sleep!
