The sun is still shining and small people dressed in their best march across the blacktop toward a year of new beginnings, new friendships, and new learnings. Some students are excited, others are anxious or worried about the days ahead, but one thing is certain, school has resumed.
My class starts on September 8th, since I am a specialist and the students must learn the procedures, rules, and routines in their homerooms first. I am anxiously waiting for my kids to walk into the door. I want to hear stories about their summers, see their smiles, and connect with them again for a new school year. Some students will meet me for the first time, as I have new first graders, third graders, and others who have joined the Science Tech. program.
We will do some work together in a whole class setting and other work in a small group setting this year. We will work on growth mindset, collaboration, communication, creativity and focus as we explore the world of mathematical thinking, the intersection of science and math, coding and book clubs.
Busy days are ahead as I meet my students and I will invite parents to an optional curriculum night later on in the month. Stay posted to learn about upcoming dates as I greet new students and welcome back old friends.
