But seriously, I am anxiously awaiting my first year at a new school. I have been in and out of my new building several times over the last few weeks and I still have TONS to get done. I know I am not the only one feeling excited, so I thought I would blog some plans I have used in the past to foster teambuilding and classroom mangement during the first week of school:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WELCOME BAGS FOR STUDENTS
Book: Reading classic novels
helps build your vocabulary and makes you smart beyond your years!
Medal: You are all winners in my
book! Let’s work together as a team this year!
Silly Straw: There’s always a
time and a place to be silly---we will have a lot of fun this year!
Sunglasses: “Your future is so
bright, you’ve gotta wear shades!”
Lifesavers: I am your support in
and out of the classroom and so are the other adults in the building and your classmates. Never feel weird to ask
for help!
Hugs: If your feelings were hurt, you had a bad day, not feeling so
well…remember there is always a hug waiting for you!
Whistle: You have worked so hard
to get to the end of elementary school—don’t “blow it” now! Keep your
behavior and attitude in check and this will be your best year yet!
Love,
Mrs. Penna J
