School Rules

Inspired by, NO, DAVID!, as a class we read David Shannon's hilarious books about one trouble making boy. We then used David's naughty behavior to discuss the rules of our classroom and school. Students came up with their own rules and put their "John Hancock" on our class constitution.

We the students of room 116 pledge to follow these rules:

No touching the projector. Sophia
Pay attention. Kaitlyn
No running in the halls. Carter
Listen to your teacher. Natalia
Do not scribble on each others' papers. Matty
Follow the teacher. Hailey
No hitting. John
Always raise your hand. Quinn
Don't be late for school. Katherine
No overflowing the sink. Luke
Listen to directions.  Marco
Come in from recess when the teacher tells you. Ella
No kicking. Brannon
No piggy back rides. Teagan
Include friends when playing a game. Langdon
Respect our friends. Ashwin
Do not leave the classroom without asking a teacher. Jake

1st graders also used No, David! as the first entry in our read and response journals.  After reading all the different David stories, students chose their favorite part of the stories to draw a picture of what they visualized while reading.

I am happy to report that all of us in first grade have made many new friends. Here's a quick glimpse into our first few days... 

1st graders have been playing learning with play dough, becoming experts with the creative pen on the Smartboard, and popping balloons to get to know each other.  Two days down and many fun adventures ahead.  Thanks for following us at Klipfel & Kids.

1st Day

First day of 1st grade is over.  Time sure does fly when you're having fun.  I guess the smiling faces, excitement and adorable new outfits of all the first graders only helped.  I loved hearing about your summer adventures and look forward to many more shared stories this school year.  Klipfel & Kids is your one stop spot into room 116.  Come on in, take our hand and let us take you for a tour...

My favorite spot in the class is our library area.  Browse the shelves, pick out a favorite story and snuggle up with a monkey or two.
