The First Day of School
As the doors open for the first day of school, students shuffle in eager to learn. The children all line up near their classrooms awaiting the sound of the morning bell. The teachers have taken their time setting up their classrooms just right for the arrival of their new students. In my classroom, the desks are labeled with each students name and the bulletin boards are bright and colorful waiting to be filled with students work. When the morning bell echoes through the hall, the children make a dash for their classroom doors. The day is about to begin, another school year that will be filled with learning, laughter, and excitement!

Your story is so exciting! I think your students would love to read about that, especially because they can relate to it. You used so many detailed and descriptive vocabulary words. I think that can help students with their writing, to amp it up and make it more enjoyable to read. Your vocabulary activity is very well created as well. Great Job!
ReplyDeleteI love the first day of school as well. What grade are you teaching? Maybe you can ask the children to assist you in writing the weekly blog and make it available to parents to view and comment. Nice job on your ELA activity. Have fun this year!!
ReplyDeleteYour entry really captures the mood and anticipation of the first day of school. I like how you have the wall ready for the students' work. The list of adjectives is a great resource for your students. I hope that you will write and blog with them.
