Welcome Back! 2016 is going to be epic...

Among many fun things that we will encounter as we complete our first grade year, we are set to tackle the following "New Year's Resolutions:"

1. Write with more "juicy" words, like Epic, to make our writing pop!
2. Earn more Class CLAWs with great hallway behavior.
3. Expand our number of mastered sight words by more than 100.
4. Revisit our classroom expectations on the CHAMPS chart so that we can succeed together.
5. Build our understanding of Base 10, geometry, time, as well as math facts through 20.
6. Double our entries in Seesaw to document our learning and share with families.
7. Learn about Scientific Method through the use of experiments and reflection on results vs. hypotheses.
8. Code more!
9. Show off our awesome behavior by using a new app called Class Dojo (coming in February).
10. Celebrate student choice in setting a personal goal and using WIN Time to help achieve it.

Sure, this isn't all we're going to do this coming year, but it's a good start. While anyone can write a list of resolutions, it takes perseverance and commitment to be able to check them off. This is our true goal.

Cheers to 2016!
Mr. C
