Our First Day Of School

We had such a great first day of school!  This morning the students quietly walked down the hall and into the classroom.  They learned that they should immediately make their lunch choice, then unpack, then finally sit down and read the board.  We will work on perfecting our morning routine throughout the week, but I have a feeling they're going to do a fabulous job tomorrow!  This morning once they unpacked and got seated they began working on their welcome packet.  The first day of school is always a quiet one.  Everyone is trying to get comfortable in their new "home" for the year and they're a little nervous about what they can and cannot do.  I snapped this picture during their quiet working time.  I'll take another one in a few weeks and we'll see if they still look this hard at work :)
 I always like to take a group picture on the first day of school.  This is my lovely group of 4th graders!  Man do they look smart :)
 Of course they wanted to do a silly picture :)
 By the time we got to lunch they were loosened up and talking to one another.  They seemed to really enjoy their first day at lunch with their friends.
 A few other things we did today :
1.)  We learned 1 fun thing that each student did this summer
2.)  We played outside
3.)  We went to Spanish
4.)  We set up and learned about or D.O.T. Book
5.)  We learned how we would go to the cafeteria and leave the cafeteria
6.)  We began reading The City of Ember
7.)  We organized our desks, crayon boxes, and cubbies
