Wowza! I am absolutely exhausted, BUT I had such a great day with my precious class. We stayed busy all day with back to school activities and procedures {I only had to wing it a couple of times :)}. Just wanted to share 2 things that we did today. Every year we do a class promise that hangs up throughout the year. Here is the final product displayed proudly on my door :)
Some of the faces crack me right up!
We also did this get-to-know-me activity. Each student filled out the handprint and then their partner introduced them to the class. It was a bit shaky with some of the shy ones, but they did a pretty stinkin good job for having the first day jitters!
I'm off to eat the meal I prepared in the crock pot for tonight! I knew I wouldn't want to whip up a meal on the first day of school!

Congrats on surviving the first day. I heart my crockpot. The problem I have is coming home to the smell of a cooked meal while I'm starving and then waiting 1.5 hours for hubby to get home! What did you make?

My feet are still swollen too after a week of school. I always forget how much my feet hurt at the beginning of school. Congratulations on surviving your first day! I love your class promise. I'll have to remember that for next year.

May I ask how you did the faces? Did you just give them scraps? Details please .... they are adorable!
Oh I know the feeling!! It's my third week back, and I still have a little swelling! Everything hurt...especially my fingertips! Weird! Congrats on surviving the first day!

Do you write the class promise together?
Jodi- I made beef tacos. They were pretty delish!
I gave the kids a tracer for the face and scraps for the hair.
Alyssa- yes, we write it together. I give them ideas and once we get started they think of some good things. I'm hoping since it's on my door I will remember to refer to it more!
Thanks everyone!!! Best of wishes for the new school year!
The classroom promise is really neat! The faces are cute too! I like the handprint too, an easy way to get to know each kid.
Congrats on surviving that first day! Mine comes this Wed!

SOO CUTE! I hope you don't mind but I was truly inspired and I did your promise chart in class today! I loved it I could not resist!!!
Erin... of course I don't mind! I definitely didn't create that idea... after all, it's better to borrow ideas than to recreate the wheel!!! Just glad you found the post useful!!! Thanks!
