Our First Week!!

Well we did it!! We finished our first week of school! :) It was a very successful week, too! We got to know our friends and learned how to start working together as a community. All scholars (students) have begun their contracts and are getting used to where everything is in the classroom.

Next week we have some great things in store for the class. Contracts will be on a roll, so scholars will be able to take charge of their learning! Our "Class Economy" system will be put into play as well. Scholars will start working a class job where they will get 'paid' at the end of the week. Extra work in the room, gets extra pay!! Something to look forward too!

Thank you to all the parents who stuck with us and helped make our new dismissal procedure safe and effective! We know that it was a big change, but your positivity and trust helped make it successful!

If you ever need anything, please feel free to contact me! If you would like to share your excitement for the school year, feel free to comment and share your enthusiasm.

Can't wait for next week!

Welcome

Welcome to our class blog! I am so excited for this new year! We have so many great things planned for this year. As parents, you will have many opportunities to be involved in your child's education, as well as, be able to see them grow, learn, and lead! As students, you will be excelling past what you thought you could ever accomplish. You will be mentors, leaders, decision makers, and peace educators. This year our class will be a supportive and cooperative family striving for success! Our class is going to rock, our year is going to rock, and our school is going to rock!! :)
