Raney's Rock Stars: Week One

It felt so good to be back to school with 20 smiling, sweaty faces this week! Even though the heat wore us down in the afternoons, we all held it together and had a great time. This week we focused on getting to know one another and our classroom. We discussed classroom norms and expectations throughout our school. Students shared their summer experiences as well as some of their hopes and dreams for this school year. Typically, we will only be going out to the woods on Fridays, as a part of our Forest Fridays program. However, with it reaching over 90 degrees this week, we made an exception to the rule and ventured out into the woods on Wednesday. It was wonderful to see the students soak up all nature has to offer them.

Questions to spark conversation:

-What are your hopes and dreams for third grade?
-What did you see, hear, smell and feel while in the woods?
-What does CSR look like throughout our school?
-Who can you go to if you have a problem?
-What lodge are you in and what did you learn inside your lodge this week?
-How can you help your class achieve greatness this year?

Gearing Up for 3rd Grade

We forgot to add headphones to the original list of school supplies. Please make sure your child has some they can leave at school.
