This week as we began routines, procedures, and curriculum we integrated some community-building activities and lessons. We learned about our own strengths and the strengths of others, especially at school. The students took a multiple intelligences survey to discover not how smart they are, but how they are smart. We also read the book "Enemy Pie", talking about friendship and how to take good care of each other in our class. Finally, we enjoyed a lesson on diversity. The students know that there are different cultures, families, religions, languages, talents, styles, and many other things at our school and in our class. These things make us unique as individuals, strong as a group, and are always to be respected. We ended by watching a video clip and learning this song by Kira Willey:
What a fantastic first week we had together!
