Good afternoon and hoping as you are reading this, you are settling into the new year. We had our first full week of school last week and we are working on ensuring routines and procedures are in place at all grade levels.
As a former Kindergarten teacher of 13 years, in the beginning of the year, I always found myself questioning how I was ever going to get them to walk down the hallway quietly, let alone read or add and subtract - and yet somehow they always managed to get there. At the building level, I find myself wondering the same thing and reminding myself how much modeling needs to be done, even with the older students in all areas. As they days progress though, you find joy in how things are taking shape in your building and seeing the joy on the student’s faces.
