A new school year starts with getting to know each other. Across our classrooms this week, students have been exploring their new learning spaces, looking for maths in the world around them, creating self-portraits as they think about Who We Are, and even turning their curiosity towards their teachers and finding out more about the people they will be learning with this year.
They have also been meeting new classmates, welcoming new students and working together to create essential agreements for their classrooms. These conversations are an important part of the first days of school, helping children think about how they want to learn together, how they treat one another and the kind of classroom community they want to be part of.
Taking the time to know our students and helping them know one another gives us a strong foundation for all the learning that will follow.
