Today is the 9th week of school, and our class welcomed an adorable new girl this morning. Her and her family just moved to our district this past weekend from NYC. She visited on Friday and said she was nervous and sad to be leaving her old school, but she seems to be getting adjusted just fine this morning.
I am so proud of the girls in my class. All on their own, they have taken our new student under their wing and made her feel just like one of them. If you walked into my room you would never know it was her first day. I have 18 of the cutest, sweetest fifth graders. They make my heart melt on a daily basis. It is amazing how adaptable children are.
Having a new student start today was a great way to refresh my original students about our rules and routines. We spent about 15 minutes before our first lesson going over our rules and the way things work in our room.
Does this happen at your school? New students register after the start of the school year? How do you get them acclimated?
In other news, my husband and I dressed up as Chip and Joanna Gaines last night to pass out candy. Do you watch "Fixer Upper?" It's a show on HGTV that we enjoy. My husband reminds me very much of Chip, and Joanna is very likable. How do you think we did?
