Thank you so much for checking out our class web site! This week I will be working to get to know your children. Personal relationships are my favorite part of being a teacher and I strongly believe that having a good relationship with students is vital to being an effective teacher. We will also begin to create some routines so that the students are comfortable in our group and know what to expect when they come to my classroom. I hope that our room will become a place where they are free to make mistakes and are comfortable asking questions.
This Week at Home: Ask your child what the or she learned about the Great Garbage Patch. What are some causes of the Patch? What are some of the effects? See if they mention the Plastiki, a boat made of plastic that sailed through the Pacific Ocean to bring attention to the garbage problem.
