As I prioritize yet again, I am thinking about what I want for students.
Read Great Books Everyday
There's no doubt about it, when students regularly read, they grow their intelligence, happiness, and success. We have engaged readers at school. Most of those readers have very busy outside-of-school lives so we have to make time everyday for students to read. We know this matters.
Study Math in a Myriad of Ways Everyday
We have to make time for deep, rich, engaging math study everyday.
Science Teamwork
We want to engage students regularly in engaging team-oriented science learning efforts.
Community and Relationship Building
We are there for students. We know that positive relationships and a positive teaching/learning community makes a positive difference for all. We are invested in this focus.
Engaging Learning Events and Celebrations
We know that the common experiences that are special and celebratory bring us together as a team and enrich the learning experiences for all.
Positive Routine and Norms
We know that when the routine and norms are well known and followed, we have more time for the richer, deeper learning.
These are the priorities. Onward.
