Dear Brown and Hill Families,
It has been a wonderful first three days. We are
both extremely grateful to have met all of your wonderful students, and
we are super excited to get started this year. Both classes began by
establishing and learning procedures, participating
in ice-breaker activities, and (re)familiarizing themselves with the
building. Mr. Brown’s homeroom did the Treasure of Tragon, an algebraic
puzzle, looked at the technology contract for using computers, and
logged into the laptops with Mr. Hill. With Mr.
Brown, they wrote Friday letters, started important work towards
creating a class charter, and played the picture sentence game. The
Sloths (Mr. Hill’s homeroom) worked on their charter by discussing 5th grade feeling words, and they played kickball
with Mr. Hill. With Mr. Brown, they wrote Friday letters and played a name game.
We wanted to communicate a couple of other notes
of interest. You should have received a paper invitation to class dojo
from your student. If you need a log-in code, email Mr. Hill (jdhill@seattleschools.org).
We use class dojo only as a secure way to share photos with parents. No
personal information is used, and first name and last initial is used
to identify students.
One last note, In case it comes up—Mr. Brown does
allow gum in his room. It is not allowed anywhere else in the building
or on the busses. If they want to bring gum, I allow students to chew it
in the classroom. No bubble gum,
though, please!
Have a great weekend.
Nathan and Josh
