It was another great day in third grade!

We had our first morning meeting today. We greeted each other with the web greeting. In the web greeting you roll a ball of yarn to the person you want to greet, they hold onto to a part of it before they roll it to the person they want to greet, and it continues this way until the last person is greeted. When we were done we had made a huge web with each person holding on to a part of the web. This lead to a discussion of how everyone in the classroom is connected and how our choices impact others in the class.

On the first day of school students shared their hopes, dreams, and goals for third grade. Today we talked about how we should behave if we not only want to accomplish our goals, but also help our friends accomplish their goals. We brainstormed a list of all those behaviors. Then Michaela raised her hand and said, "If we show respect for each other we will be doing all of those things." Well said Michaela. We had just created our first classroom rule.

3F's Classroom Rules:

1. Show respect for everyone

Votes have been cast, counted, and our class mascots have officially been named. The winning names are: Billy Bob Joe and Billy Bob Joe Jr.

I am looking forward to another great week in 3F.

Remember to fill someone's bucket today! :)
