Our school does a 'boo-hoo' breakfast. At least, that's what the staff calls it. (In our county, we have a "First Day Celebration." All parents are encouraged to accompany their children to their classrooms, and 'hang-out' for a few minutes. At 9:15 (1/2 hour after school has begun) an announcement is made, inviting ALL parents to the media center for donuts. I think our PTA supplies the treats. It seems to help get the parents out of our rooms and they can commiserate with other parents. (It usually is the primary grades who have a harder time releasing their children. Hopefully, third grade parents will be used to this.)

I'm trying to remember what book it is in that gives the rationale for letting the kids organize the classroom Library and do their own bulletin boards. Does anyone remember? Also, since I am switching from 5th down to 3rd, I'm a little worried about how to get rid of the lingering parents on the first day of school. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
