Hello to all parents and guardians.  September has flown by!  Thank you to so many of you who came to Meet the staff Night.  I had already met many of you when you picked up your children at the end of the day, and this was a fantastic opportunity to meet more.  We had amazing conversations about your children in the short time we were able to visit.  I look forward to many more interactions between us throughout the year. My goal in September is to introduce learning as a whole class. We work together as teams and help each other when needed.  My ultimate goal is that students will see each other as learning partners and will be able to have conversations about math, science, social studies, reading, and writing with each other.  This can be a difficult concept, as students tend to view their teachers as the direction that knowledge flows.  I hope that as the year goes on, students will turn to each other as well as providers of knowledge. This focus on teamwork has started with our math lessons.  Students work with partners to solve problems with addition.  We use whiteboards for our work and when students are finished, they have the opportunity to share their learning with their classmates.  It was challenging at the beginning.  Students did not feel comfortable explaining how to solve problems to their peers.  But as the weeks have gone by, more and more students are able to share their knowledge with classmates who may need a bit of help.We have an amazing class of mathematicians in our room. The picture you see here show a teamwork activity we did at the beginning of September involving placing random numbers on a number line.
