Can you believe that we have been first graders for 24 days already?!? While we are always working to become first grade readers, writers, and mathematicians...we are also taking a lot of time to become first grade community members! The past two weeks found Room 151 becoming very thoughtful about what kind of community we wanted to become. We revisited our hopes and dreams for first grade, and realized that we would need to help each other to make those dreams come true. We wanted a safe and happy classroom where every friend could become their best first grade self. After a lot of brainstorming and sharing of ideas, we came up with 5 actions that we believe all of our community members should show during our time together. Every afternoon at our reflection circle we are sharing our celebrations of these community members...the kiddos are so great at celebrating their friends! Take a look at what we have come up with...and be sure to ask your child how they are becoming first grade community members!
