Through our discussions, we have found that as a class we do many things very well:
- we're great readers
- our problem solving skills in Math continue to improve
- we ask very insightful questions that demonstrate we're listening and thinking about what we're learning
- we have excellent manners
- we're AMAZING at getting our agendas signed each night
- we are very responsible when it comes to changing into our indoor shoes
- we can stay focused, even if there are distractions in the hallway or classroom
- we've gotten very good at determining problems we can solve on our own and those that require adult intervention
- we continue to do the big things and little things that earn us brag tags each day
Some areas where we are hoping to improve
- it's super-duper important that we memorize the spelling of our no-excuse words (found on the list on our desk) Get a printable version here: No Excuse List
- we want memorize the math songs found at the top right area of the blog to help improve our number sense skills
- we want to make sure we are following all classroom expectations whether the teacher is watching or not -everyone wins when we do the right thing because it's the right thing to do, not because someone is watching us (This is our most important goal). Working with fewer teacher reminders to stay on task and do what's in accordance with our class policies really optimizes our learning environment.
- we want to participate more in class discussions and lessons. Everyone in room 208 has great contributions to make and it's essential that we all develop this skill and do our part
- we want to reduce the humming and mouth noises that can be distracting to others when they are working
- we want more brag tags! 😍
I think we are more than capable of achieving these goals. With a support from home and consistency at school, parents, you're going to need to rent a trailer to bring home all the brag tags these kids earn!
