Students, I'm Here For You

This morning I looked over the 2017-2018 prep/goal list. I've worked away at that list all summer, and have completed many items. At the very bottom of the list is the poster below. I'll hang this poster in the room and use it for an explicit lesson at the start of the year.

During the lesson, I'll say to students, "I'm here for you." It's my job this year to do all that I can to help you learn in engaging, successful ways. During the year, I want you to think about the questions on this poster, and use the questions to help me help you.

Then we'll review question by question and discuss how I might answer those questions in terms of helping each child. I'm looking forward to hearing their responses then following through.
