We did it! We made it through our first week.
Things are going smoothly and students seem to be settling in easily. We look forward to seeing what a week of full days looks and feels like to us as a community.
Next week we will continue settling in, and students will begin a true work cycle. We started learning how planning and journaling will work this year: time stamped notebooks that go step by step through the student’s activities. Those will be an integral part of this years learning, and I am excited to learn if a new way of recording the days activities will bring a deeper level of self regulation to the classroom.
Please volunteer to bring in a week of snack! Your donations of food are HUGELY appreciated as it keeps the rumbling tummies to a minimum and helps keep the “hanger” away. You can find our sign ups here: https://www.trackitforward.com/site/389525/event/462490 Look at the top of the page, there is a stuck link that says “Laura’s snack sign ups” from there, you can see all of the weeks in the year at a glance as well as notes as to which are short weeks due to holidays, etc. Snacks are such an important part of our learning environment. Thank you in advance for helping us out.
