Hangin' with Mr. E

Today is the first day of my self-created after-school class, Hangin' with Mr. E. Spring session has a special feeling around it. I'm more excited about this after-school class than any of my others, and because of that I'm doing a little more planning than I did with the others. Not to say that I did no planning for the others... but sometimes that was the case. Anyway, I have a few good things planned. Of course, this is the first day so the rules are ever important. However, I've got some apples and bananas for the children to eat while I do some reading, named "fresh reading." I'm also planning on giving them a riddle to decipher in their groups, as well as some free writing time. We'll see how it turns out.
