Friday's Class

Hi Kids!


On Friday we talked about respect and how to be good listeners.  I asked for volunteers and gave two examples.  The first one showed how a bad listener looks and the second one demonstrated good listening skills. 


After we had our lesson we went off into groups and did more listening work in our groups.  I really thought this was successful and I hope that you all will continue to use your good listening skills to show respect for other people. 


At the very end of class we discussed a little bit about our next project which I will be putting up on our project page.  As usual our Journals will be posted on the Journal page.


For the new students, please make sure that you have your Student Information Folders into me and also that I have a notecard with your blog url on it.


I hope you all have had a wonderful weekened and I will see you on Monday.

End of Term

Alright kids we have come to the end of term!!!  Everyone should of gotten thier report cards on Saturday the 13th. 


Everyone's reports are in and you all did a GREAT job.  I was very impressed by the work you all did.  I also want to tell everyone that I am so proud of your journal work.  Part of your homework grade is based on your journals and this class in particular has done better then any of my previous classes.


On Monday the 14th (our first day of the new term) I will not be here.  Ms. Lauren will be substituting and she has a lesson plan.  I expect you all to be on your best behavior.  Thanks so much kids for a great term and I look forward to the next term.

If you notice I have created a new tab on the class blog named "previous terms".  That page will contain all the info from our previous term so that I can clear out the other pages and make room for the new work we will be doing.

Have a GREAT weekened!!!

Pillars of Character

On Monday in class we learned about The 6 Pillars of Character and why they are important.  The Pillars are: Respect, Trustworthiness, Caring, Fairness, Responsibility, and Citizenship.  We have already done classes on Respect and Trust previously and in the last three classes I am going to be covering the other four. 

We went over each Pillar individually after I gave the deffinitions of each.  As we sat in the circle on the carpet the kids all got to add in what they thought each Pillar meant or represented. 

This leads us into our class project for this term.  The kids were divided into groups and each group will be creating a "Character Book".   More information about the project is under the Projects  page. 

Please make sure that you are checking all pages on the class blog.  I want to make sure that everyone knows about any Announcements, Journals, or Assignments.

I hope everyone has a nice week and I will see you on Friday.
