I think I am lucky to have these angels as my 5th graders. Yes they know each other well and yes they did talk a lot today. But they litsened well when they need to, they responded well when I had questions for them. They can do projects when they are assigned.
This year, they are the only 5th grade class at the 2nd floor. I think it is a very good chance for them to see how do the upper graders do and act. They can learn from them even they are doing something inappropriate. I believe my job is to let them understand what to do and what not to do by any chance, instead of blocking their eyes and only let them see the good part of the world.
Altough it is only the first day. I can tell we are going to have a good year. We have a small class and I will have a higher expectation on my 5th graders. It is totally ok and fine to make mistakes in my class. Everybody makes mistakes, the most important part is to learn from it and don't make the same mistake again.
We had our first class project today. We made and "Hands Circle Contract". In the middle of the circle, there are three things that we, including me all need to follow during this year. From NO.1 to NO.3, they are, Fairness, Honesty and Responsible. I think we had a very good start today.
