To establish a sense of purpose in our classroom so our students understand why it's important to come to school everyday and work hard, we have spent a lot of time sharing our ideas to build a class promise that every one understands and sees the value of its language. The content within our class promise is to help children understand the many purposes of their learning and to develop greater meaning in the choices they make at school and how those can impact our class community.
As a class we have been working very hard on establishing class routines that are consistent, fair, and agreed upon by all members of the class; students and teachers. We are very proud of the effort our students are making to be responsible and respectful citizens of our class. They are starting to understand the value of being an active member of our classroom to support their learning, and recognize how the choices they make can impact the learning environment of their peers. We know that this year will be an outstanding year in grade one. We have a remarkable group of students that are eager to learn and ready to be challenged. We recently enjoyed reading the book "David Goes To School" , which opened up a great discussion about our rights at school. Our students brainstormed some thoughtful rules that support our student rights at school: 1) the right to learn, 2) the right to be happy and 3) the right to feel safe. You can read through their ideas and enjoy their fabulous art work in the slide show below. Ms.VanMaarion & Mrs.Quance |
