The First Day of School!

The Bresciani Bunch on their first day of Grade 8

Today came together for the first time as a Grade 8 classroom and I don't think it could have gone any better! We spent the first part of the morning learning all the basic procedures for Mr. Bresciani's room as well as the school. In addition to procedures we also spent some time organizing binders and seeing which group could create the tallest tower with their shoes. After recess we headed to the gym for the first school wide assembly of the year where Mrs. Norris introduced all the new staff members to Deshaye.

After lunch we spent an hour working on an ELA assignment that tasked the students with writing assignment that helped me get to know everyone better. Once we finished up ELA, we held an "I Can't" funeral because the words "I Can't" no longer exist in Mr. Bresciani's class. During the last hour of the day we headed outside for a half hour and participated in another activity that demonstrated the power of believing in yourself. At the end of the day the students took some time to work on a time capsule activity that highlighted everyone's thoughts from the first day of Grade 8.

Overall, we had such a amazing day and I can't say enough how excited I am for this upcoming school year! We have such an amazing group of students in our classroom and I couldn't have wished for a better group of people to work with this year. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again tomorrow. Have a wonderful night.
