Good afternoon Brown and Hill families!
We have successfully completed the first six days of school! Mr. Hill and I have been loving getting to each and every student, and we are more and more excited each day for what the year has in store for us.
Both homerooms have began constructing a classroom charter--one that outlines the types of emotions students would like to experience within their learning environment. Mr. Hill's room has agreed upon Creative, Respected, Nerdy, Optimistic, Safe, and Bananas. Suitably, they have voted and agreed upon The Fancy Bananas for a class mascot. Mr. Brown's homeroom has agreed to strive towards being Safe, Included, Motivated, Joyful, Pleasant, and Creative in class. They have not voted on a mascot yet, but do they ever have a list to choose from (all student nominations).
In addition to setting up routines and procedures, Mr. Brown's students have began to learn about the different components of social studies, including Geography, Economics, and History. Additionally, they engaged in a webquest designed around researching history using online tools. Finally, students completed their first Friday letter, in which students write to their teacher about an array of topics on most Fridays.
In Mr. Hill's class, students took their first chapter pre-test in math, covered the expectations for using technology in school, as well as learned how to take Cornell notes in science.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch with us, and don't forget to get volunteer paperwork in ASAP!
Thank you and sincerely,
Nathan and Josh
