Kicking Off A Great First Week Of School!

The 2016-2017 school year is off to a great start! Our new full day kindergarten students are tired, but handling the full day very well. They are already learning the routines and procedures and having fun too!  The first graders have jumped right into their new full day experience with grace.  Take a look at a few pictures from the first week.

  

Just prior to school starting, new families were invited to Glenbrook for an ice cream social so that they could ask questions and meet other new families. It was a nice way to help the kids see that they were not the only "new kids on the block."

                 

Purposeful play is learning in kindergarten. Our children are already developing social skills while learning to read, write and understand mathematical concepts. The teachers guide their play, ask questions and help them when they struggle.  

Mrs. Smith's IGNITE Class visited Sunrise Camp to get to know each other. Many of the students in her 4th grade class are coming from different schools. This is a big adjustment, so spending the day together at camp will really help to build their learning community. 

                         

All of our classrooms spend time getting to know their teacher, each other and the routines and procedures this week. The students are well on their way to learning what it means to be Respectful, Responsible and Real Safe, our Hawk Pride mantra.
