Dear Families,
I am so excited about how our year together has started. We have a warm classroom community (not to mention a warm classroom) and passion for learning and creating. We have reestablished some solid work routines and developed some fun ways to do school.
In the following weeks we are going to really focus in on the getting work done in a timely way and making sure that it is the best it can be. We talked as a class about checking in with yourself to make sure that you are fully present. We practiced checking in with our minds and our bodies to make sure that we were ready and engaged. Next week we will practice some self-coaching strategies to work through challenging moments.
Thanks for supporting your kids in writing fantastic reading reflections last week. I am thrilled with the level of thinking and effort that went into them.
HOMEWORK THIS WEEK: Due Friday 9/18
- MATH: Number Visuals activity
