First Week

I have had 7 days of school so far this year. My class is starting to warm up and understand what I expect so things are starting to get a little easier in some aspects and will be getting more difficult in others as we start to get more academic. Along with the first full week of school, our school has a tradition of holding a Mustang Week (our school mascot is the mustang). We started this when the school opened two years ago as all of our students were coming from two different schools so we wanted them to feel like a group of Mustangs rather than the Cougar Cubs and the Explorers at a new school. Every day of the week, we have something happening to celebrate the start of a new year. This year, we started with a carnival (we usually end with the carnival but we couldn't get it on Friday and it was cheaper to get on a Monday). My co-workers and I played right along with the kids. In fact, Adam and Garrett jousted each other, I took pictures:






We had our students complete an art project on Tuesday. We made stick horses/mustangs because 6th grade Mustangs "stick" together!
