Today was a great first day of school! My students and I learned so much together. One of my teaching partners suggested reading Pete the Cat with my students as a way of introducing them to the building. I'm so glad I listened because the kids and I loved it!
After I read Pete the Cat to my students we went on a scavenger hunt around the building searching for Pete and following his clues. We didn't have any luck finding him but one of my students said he saw Pete's tail slip out the door! :)
On our hunt for Pete we discovered where the media center, music room, gymnasium, art room, cafeteria, play ground and lunch room are and what those giant rooms are called.

After our search for Pete we came back into our classroom and rocked out to this song. The kids and I had this song stuck in our heads for the rest of the day.
Enjoy!
