One exciting element to our school year is our student teacher, Kerry Daimon. She is a Pacific graduate and student, now working on her Master's of Teaching. She worked on the iPad project last year in the Puffin classroom and has volunteered in Treehouse for a few years. It's great to have her on our team.
Those of your familiar with FGCS, you know the first few weeks have a focus on community building, learning routines and setting expectations for the year. This year, we are using bridge building as a metaphor for building a strong community and we're actually building bridges! Also, we'll be looking at:
- Collaboration--how we work together as a team
- Growth Mindset--your ability to do something can grow with hard-work, dedication, and learning from mistakes
- Mindfulness--being focused on the present moment
- Solving Classroom Problems and Conflict
Best,
Gretchen
