What a Great First Day!

We had a great first day in Grade 1.

We read a book about Pete the Cat and his school shoes. We found a note about Pete the Cat being lost at the back of the book. He was lost and his clues took us on tour around the school to try to find him. After his last clue Pete left us some goldfish but he called them Cat food! We also decorated a shoe for Pete.
We read a book about a person who was nervous about her first day of school  called First Day Jitters. We talked about how we felt before school today and then we drank Jitter Juice to help our butterflies to go away because some of us were nervous.
We read a book about Chrysanthemum who was named after a flower.  Every time kids were not nice to her in the book we crumpled our paper heart.  At the end our papers were very wrinkly and we could not get the wrinkles out. We talked about how we have to think before we talk to others because it is hard to fix a wrinkled heart
At the end of the day we played games and ran around the gym.
We learned lots together today and we are excited for tomorrow!
