Update

Greetings Everyone and Welcome Aboard to An Exciting Year of Learning!

It is my distinct privilege and honor to be your child's Math and Science Teacher!

This year you will receive weekly blog updates about learning in my classroom. This will sometimes include pictures of students in action.

Our theme for the year will be based on 'Building Leadership Skills'. Today, students shared their interpretation of what makes up a leader. We also named people we value as leaders. The goal is for our students to think global, and act local. A leader does not need to be known world-wide.

In our class we do not have Rules. We do have Class Agreements. All students agreed to the following handout which will be reviewed every 2 weeks this school year. Class Agreements Document

Yesterday, students were given a packet of Forms to be filled out and returned by next Wednesday.
In addition students were given a 'Parent Input' Form to help teachers get to know your child.

Today in Math students added the corresponding values of the letters in the alphabet to show that the word 'Attitude' is equal to 100%. We played a game of risk called Skunk which called for addition of numbers. Students were surveyed online using my Plickers App regarding basic interests.

Here are 3 songs to introduce the school year:

The Quest For Knowledge Trailer

Can't Stop The Teaching!

The Greatest

We ended each class with an old song with lyrics: 'You've made me so very happy! I'm so glad you came into my life!'

All questions are welcome throughout the year! We look forward to meeting you for 'Back To School Night' on Tuesday, September 19th. 

Sincerely,

Chris
