The fourth week of school has been busy and full of learning! Our class is working hard to build a trusting, positive class environment so all students can flourish. In creating a caring classroom community, we continue to deepen our connections to each other. My hope is that all students will feel nurtured, respected, and have a sense of belonging so they will be able to grow and learn to their full potential.
I am looking forward to meeting with you at our fall conferences next week. This conference will provide an opportunity for you and me to work collaboratively to set goals for this school year. Students will not be attending the conference. I will share your student's goals with him/her after our conference.
I strongly encourage every student to participate in the fall library enrichment program. Minutes logged for our class Reading Log can be used! Now showing......BOOKS!
