Today was our first day back to school! I personally enjoy going back to school after a break. I like getting back into a routine, back into my classroom, and back to teaching.
And even though the kids might not admit it, I always think they are glad to be back too!
I kept my kiddos busy today {and got everything I had planned done as a result}. Here are just a couple of the things we accomplished.
We used the Winter Break Snapshot Journal by Rachelle Rosenblit for a fun writing activity. We will be working on this all week long during writing time. I enjoyed listening to the students talk about what they did over break, and the journals already look so cute!
My 6th graders started a new topic in our Interactive Reading Notebooks today. We defined story devices and colored and cut out the pieces that we will use tomorrow to take notes on.
I was busy during my free hour too. I finished putting up my new bulletin boards and worked on report card grades.

| The students are going to write times when they help someone on mittens to hang on this board. Hopefully it will encourage some extra kindness among each other! |
I can't say that every day is this productive, but at least the first day back was. Hopefully I can keep this up all week!
How was your first day back after break?
