A Fresh Start

And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been.

Happy New Year
and
Welcome Back, 5th and 6th Graders! 😀

We all had a fantastic winter break filled with family, relaxation, and exciting adventures. As we settled back into our classroom routine after a short 3-day week, the children took the time to reflect on their holiday experiences and look ahead to the new year with fresh goals.

During our first day back, the children had the opportunity to share stories about their winter break. It was wonderful to hear about all the fun activities they participated in, from family gatherings and holiday traditions to exciting trips and new experiences. These stories not only brought smiles to our faces but also helped us reconnect as a class. 

In our first unit, we learned about the importance of a growth mindset and how setting goals can help us achieve our dreams. After sharing our holiday stories, the children took some time to reflect on what they want to accomplish this year.

As we dove back into our studies, we continued working on our government system projects with our partners. This was a great opportunity to collaborate once more and learn about how different government systems function around the world.

It was a short week but fruitful nonetheless. 
We’re excited to see what this year holds for each one of us. 
Here’s to a fantastic start to the year!

Have a wonderful weekend to all of you.

Your homeroom teacher, 

Ms. Pam
