School Year 2017-2018 Our first week and a half of school was a successful transition into the school year! Each day began with our Morning Meeting and Morning Message. The students decorated name tags and birthday signs to be used daily in the classroom. Students shared about their summer vacations and started the writing process for the first writing piece. As a class, we gathered together to discuss classroom rules and values of importance to our class community. We learned and practiced routines including Reading workshop transitions, lunch clean up and walking through The Walden School building peacefully. In just one week, the students began to navigate the classroom subject areas using the workplan as a guide. We also met with our Student Learning Community groups across grades 1-8 and began to problem solve Recess challenges. Mrs. Goodwin taught the children about turtles using her expertise from working at The Wetlands Institute in New Jersey. There is so much more to be learned in the coming weeks, but so far, our new group of first and second graders are off to a great start to the year! Please enjoy the photo album below of a few of our first week activities.
