First Day Back

We had a good first day back. Everyone seemed to transition back into school mode with relative ease. I was grateful the rain held off until most of first recess was over. We did end up with one indoor recess, but we fared fine. Some children got artistic,
and we also pulled out the Super Fort, which was a rocket today. Despite the amount of space it takes up, it is really nice to have a fun, big toy to pull out occasionally.
Later the rocket was transformed into a bunch of connected rockets with astronauts. At least, that's what I think it was. At any rate, they were working together and preparing to blast off.
One more thing: I just graded all the work we did today and the class as a whole is doing a fantastic job writing! I love to see the transformation from little/no writing at the beginning of the year to full sentences that are mostly decipherable. There were spaces, punctuation, and all sorts of wonderful work that was done largely independently!
