What We Need!
I just wanted to start off this blog post by saying how PROUD and IMPRESSED I am with both the 5th and 6th graders this week. They have worked so hard to create a classroom culture that feels safe and welcoming. We dedicated a lot of our time this week to discuss what we need from each other to have a successful year. I was amazed by all of the thoughtful comments students shared. I heard things like,
” We need to be understanding and include each other”
“We need to have a growth mindset and be positive so we don’t bring others down”
“We need to support everyone with what they chose”
“We need to be kind to each other”
I am SO excited for our year together and to continue to learn from your amazing kids!
Make sure to ask your children about some of our other highlights from the week:
- Setting beginning of the year science goals
- Math About Me! (5th Grade)
- Bridge Riddle (5th Grade)
- River Crossing Riddle (5th Grade)
- Saving Fred (5th Grade)
- Penny Challenge (6th Grade)
- Hands-On Equations (6th Grade)
