One Word

Happy New Year!

This year, instead of writing New Year's resolutions, our class decided to choose just one word each. The "One Word" project is based on the book One Word that will Change your Life. Instead of writing a resolution for the new year, you choose one word that will be "your" word for 2014. This word is something that you always keep in mind and it will help you be the best you you can be. We had a great discussion about the character traits of leaders and successful students and then brainstormed a list of word ideas. Each student chose "their" word for the year, wrote it on a poster, and then illustrated their word to show its meaning. We had some great word choices, like stamina, independent, proactive, and leader! We are planning on hanging our One Word posters up in the classroom so we have a reminder of our word for the rest of the year. They should be up by Monday, so be sure to check them out when you come into our classroom! They will be hanging above the windows.

Please click on the above link if you are interested in volunteering in our classroom in January. We are looking for help with our math facts and help in reading. Reading volunteers will be leading a book discussion with a group of students reading a chapter book. All volunteers need to have a valid CORI check on file with the school office.

Thank you!
