Our Learning Environment
This first week of school, we will spend a lot of time doing activities to break the ice and get to know one another. I really want the students in our class to feel comfortable with one another, and be able to create relationships that will contribute positively to their participation in class activities as the year unfolds. My goal is to create an environment that is inclusive and accepting of all learning types and styles.
This year, you will see a great focus on student-centered learning. This means that I will be looking for many ways in which to involve the students in a hands-on environment. Students will be able to take on great responsibilities as students, which means taking an active role in the learning process. We will be learning how to respond to discussions, how to work effectively as teams and as pairs, how to work through challenges, and what it means to learn together.
I'm looking forward to a new school year, and an exciting time in 3rd grade!
