Good Afternoon,
We have had a great first week. We have created norms for our Morning Meetings, explored a variety of materials from the room, and modeled many of our classroom and school expectations. Today we talked about our individual Hopes and Dreams for the year and each student started to illustrate their goal. Once we have finished this, we will use our goals to create our classroom rules. Our day ended with a special presentation by Chris Wadell. He is a para-olympian who spoke to us about goals. Chris is quite inspiring and has done some amazing things in his life. I suggest you check him out at the Big Picture tonight or through a Google search.
Notes:
*Book orders are due next Tuesday. I will be mailing them on Wednesday.
*Reading homework will start next week.
*If your child hasn't brought in a shoe-box (or something of similar size) please send one in by the end of next week.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Peace,
Mr. Young
