I am really looking forward to jumping right in with the students this week! The beginning of each new year is so exciting!
In first grade we spend the first several days building community, practicing routines and procedures, and setting the tone for a special school year together. A large focus in the first few days is establishing our norms for morning meetings. These morning meetings ensure our days run smoothly.
We will also become familiar with the Panther PRIDE language by having lessons around:
P practicing safety
R reacting responsibly
I initiating kindness
D demonstrating respect
E embracing cooperation
Beginning the third week of school, our buddy class (4th graders) will start teaching us about the 7 Habits of Happy Kids in conjunction with our Leader in Me initiative. Much more to come on this topic! :0)
When we begin diving into the curriculum, I will be posting essential questions and information regarding our learning and try to give examples of how you can reinforce at home.
