Look for exciting things to happen in her room this year. It is never boring.
To make learning the "Big" priority of our class. That learning will take
many forms but it will be fun. We will respect each other with all of our
differences, knowing that those differences, bring a richness to all that we
do. We will all become good friends and enjoy our last year at Sarah Smith.
For all of this to happen children must feel that they are safe, not only
physically, but safe to share who they are.Ideas and thoughts are always
important and treated with respect. Our classroom is a place where children
want to be. Knowing that following the rules and making our work a high
priority, we contribute to a successful and wonderful experience for all of
our classmates.
