5M's First Swim!

Great time had by all at the pool on Wednesday! The tubes were out, we had tag in the lazy river, and laughter could be heard bouncing off the walls in the PCU. I'm looking forward to the upcoming times we have in the pool!

Mulvey's M&M's, the Brain and Twitter

Our classroom name was chosen by the students and we are Ms. Mulvey's M&M's. The past few days we have been working together and building a safe classroom community. Part of this team building has been acknowledging and celebrating our differences - our strengths and our struggles. We all have different strengths and we can help each other out with our struggles. One of the activities that we did to acknowledge and celebrate our strengths is create a classroom brain.

Every student has a wrinkle on our classroom brain and they have claimed that wrinkle with their name and their highest multiple intelligence (as determined by a survey). We are all different kinds of smart and as a class we work together to strengthen our smarts and to help each other out with our struggles.
Our Twitter account has been set up and is running - you can follow us at @MsMulveysClass. Students will be tweeting weekly and I will also send out tweets with reminders of swimming, and any other special events coming up.

Welcome Mulvey's M&M's!

The first 2 days of school last week just flew by! There is so much to do and so many routines to get established! Our classroom name is Mulvey's M&M's and we are looking forward to a great year together. This blog has important dates listed, as well as internet games that the students can use to practice their skills. I look forward to working with you all this year! I will post about our Twitter Account as soon as it's up and running!
