We are a community of learners in Room 123! Students began developing this sense when they drew pictures of themselves on the first day of first grade. Later, they shared what they wanted most to learn about in first grade.
Students also held several lively discussions about how we will need to act to achieve these goals. As they talked, students shared their schema for school. They also added lessons learned from the books we read together, including The Little Engine that Could, Lily’s Purple Plastic Purse, and Cleversticks.
From these discussions, we developed our Class Promise which we all signed. Look below to see our goals and plans to achieve them!
Thank you Mrs. Mooney! We loved reading about what everyone wanted to learn in first grade. We also enjoyed viewing the artwork.
The blog is wonderful! It provides me with a real connection to what’s happening in the classroom. The community building clip brought a smile to my face.
Mrs. Mooney-
I love the way you took individual pictures of what the kids wanted to learn and then took a picture of the whole social contract. The video is so neat. I was waiting with anticipation to see Paul’s and then couldn’t believe he used the word “atmosphere.” Reallly Cool! Heather
