First Day Success!!

Wow!! What an amazing first day back! I haven't been teaching long (4 years), but that was the best first day with a new class I have ever had! We spent a lot of time going over Neely O'Brien "Big 5" expectations. I was so impressed with how well the 6th graders knew the Big 5 and could even give me examples of following the Big 5!

 

1. Keep our school a safe place

2. Make responsible choices

3. Follow all reasonable requests

4. Respect yourself and others

5. Use good manners

 

I really do think by following those guidelines, success can be had in every aspect of life! These are the expectations I have of my students in and out of the classroom.

 

We also spent quite a bit of time today getting to know all the unique individuals in our class. I loved seeing you 6th graders fill out your "Facebook Profile" pages today. I appreciate that you didn't laugh too hard at my stick figure drawings :)

 

You will be doing more "get to know you" activities tomorrow and reviewing expectations for your academic effort and behavior. I look forward to really diving into the curriculum after Labor Day. Remember, NO SCHOOL Monday, September 2nd.

 

Sincerely,

Ms. Carlyle
