“Strength lies in differences, not in similarities”

Not sure if your 5th grader is one who volunteers a whole lot of info when you inquire, "How did school go today?" But today we didn't do much "work" in the traditional sense, but we did start the "work" of building our community and establishing some norms and protocols. This first week or so, we'll be continuing to come together as a "community of learners," and launching our reading, writing, and math workshops. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, and I look forward to seeing you at Curriculum Night, September 11th from 6pm-8pm.
