So I need to start with the blanket apology... Please be patient with me as I enter the world of blogging with your children. I started today's post before the students left so I could model posting with them. Our future SAGE day summaries will hopefully occur in one post.
After the students settled in and we collected paperwork, they got to know one another a little better with a Skittles activity. They discovered they have many simular interests. Ask your child to tell you about our activity and share some of the things they learned about their classmates.
Next, we learned our way around Briarcliff, seeing the office, nurse's office and the cafeteria. The students were then introduced to a new portion of our critical thinking lessons, Logic Links where they had to analyze clues to find the correct patterns. They also started in the Math Rules problem solving program. After lunch in the Bear Cafe, the students enjoyed the beautiful weather at recess. In the afternoon, we discussed blogs, posting, commenting and the purpose of our blog. We also started an affective lesson where the students will be making a project and writing about their future goals and aspirations. We hope to have them completed by our October 6th Open House.
Our day seemed to be over before we even knew it! They are an enthusiastic, outgoing and friendly group of students. I know we are going to enjoy our time together this year. We hope you will stay connected with our blog. Feel free to share your thoughts by posting comments here. You are also welcome to share questions or concerns by calling or emailing me.
Be sure and sign your child's Take Home Folder and have them return it next week. Have a wonderful week!
