It was another busy and fun week in Room 118! We finished our first unit in FUNdations, continued to build our stamina in Reader's Workshop, reviewed addition strategies in math and added to our small moment stories in Writer's Workshop! Keep up the amazing work Room 118! ❤
This week in one of our SEL classes with Mrs. Aissis we role played what to do if you don't agree with someone! Ask your child what strategies they can use to compromise with a friend to see what they learned!
This week in Reader's Workshop we focused on what strategies we can use to read tricky words that we might come across in our books! Ask your child about the strategies we learned about! 📚
We have been talking a lot during these early weeks of school about our goals for this school year. Students have worked hard to discover topics they’ll learn, reflect on what they are able to do now that they couldn’t do last year, and build excitement for what is to come this year!
Some students have set specific goals to develop an academic or social skill, and others have hopes that they will grow as learners and contributing community members. All of our hopes and dreams are important. To create a climate where each of us can achieve our goals, we created these rules to follow for our classroom.
Care for ourselves and have self control.
Care for others and be respectful of teachers and other students.
Care for our classroom and school.
Put forth our best effort and persevere.
We understand that our choices and actions directly impact ourselves, our classmates and our ability to learn and grow. If we choose to not follow the expectations of our classroom we understand that there will be consequences for our actions.
I look forward to working together to create a safe and caring community of learners in our classroom and so greatly appreciate your support! Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about these rules or my approach to classroom discipline. Please be on the lookout for a hard copy contract of the rules for our classroom coming home with your child this week.
Let’s make each day in our classroom a GREAT day! 😃
Reading the book, What if Everybody Did That? allowed us to
discuss what would happen if everyone made an unexpected choice.
All parents and guardians must wear masks while in Boyden. Thank you for your understanding

Did you share any special times over the summer? Does your family have any special traditions? Has your family visited a special place or taken a trip? These memories are the seeds your child can use to “grow” a story.
I kindly ask you to spend a few minutes talking with your child about the people,, places, things, and experiences that are important to them. Encourage your child to zoom in on a small moment in time. Your child can use these ideas throughout our Personal Narrative unit!
