Hello Everyone!
Wow! What a week! I don't know if it's been the candy, the weather or the time change but the classroom and school have been lively:)
We have been working very hard this week on being respectful of our peers. Turning and listening to them when they talk and giving positive feedback. It's important to student's learning to be able to do this not just because it's respectful but students will be learning to engage in "academic talk" throughout the year. Academic talk will be used during partner and small group work in Math to take their learning beyond the presented question/problem. We are making sure that their bodies are facing the speaker, eyes on the speaker and ears listening for thing that they could respond to.
Our Personal Success Factor for the month is GRATITUDE:) We will talking in the classroom about how we can show gratitude to classmates, parents, family, friends and others.

I will make sure to get a picture handing them off (if possible) so the kiddos can see where they ended up. Thanks again! This was very powerful for the students to be a part of:) I will miss our sock bin!
