The First Day Jitters
Students in Mrs. May’s Kindergarten classroom had a fun-filled first week of school! After reading First Day Jitters by Julie Danneberg, students made their very own “Jitter Juice” to celebrate the start of a new school year. They also spent time exploring their new classroom, playing with toys, and making new friends along the way. What a wonderful way to kick off Kindergarten!
Social Contract
Mrs. Wright’s Kindergarten class kicked off the new school year by creating their classroom Social Contract! As part of Capturing Kids’ Hearts, students worked together to discuss how they want to be treated by their teacher and classmates, how they should treat others, and how they can handle conflict.
Students brainstormed words and phrases that represented the kind of classroom community they want to create before turning their ideas into a poster and signing their Social Contract. This activity gives students a voice in setting classroom expectations while building a foundation of kindness, respect, and teamwork for the year ahead!
