61/ Discussion about seating plans. Free choice right now but I reserved the right to relocate students. I would later do exactly that.

Used the post-it opening I found on r/teachers along with the tree-climbing comic to address accommodation.

Introduced the math routine of the Daily 5 (henceforth D5).

Developed objective seeking skills by dropping water drops on coins (predict how many will fit and then add water drops via pipette or dropper to coins, a real crowd pleaser).

Introduced the Frayer vocabulary model and used the words Life and Billings and Music as practice.

Discussed the WOTP program as a whole and the concept of stages.

62/ Same as above.

Lit/ Getting to know the students.

61/ Draw Squad alien house and stage talk.
