Successful Start + Important Info

By
What do you get when you add 71 kiddos, 3 excited teachers, an amazing community and TONS of energy? A fabulous first day of school!

Our first day together was certainly a success. We wrote letters, made new friends, talked about what a successful classroom should look like, and laughed a lot! We realized that even though we have some differences, we also have a lot in common.

Mrs. Blake's homeroom revisited an old adage that once the toothpaste is out of the tube...
 
...it's hard to get back in! We talked about how impactful our words and actions can be, and agreed that we must be thoughtful before we act.

We also shared some silliness with a song called Tootie Ta. Here's a sample!

We are constantly amazed by the overwhelming support of our parent community...thank you! Here are a few important pieces of information we wanted to share.

*Food Allergies--Our classrooms are nut-free/nut oil-free. In order to ensure the health & safety of each student, it is imperative that you read ALL food labels/ingredients. Please double check your child's lunch/snack prior to sending it to school.
*Birthdays--We will celebrate birthdays with our homeroom class at the end of the day. You are welcome to send in an allergy-friendly treat to share with your child's homeroom class.

Thank you for sharing your children with us...after today, we are even more excited for the year ahead! :)

    We LOVE our cd!! Cara has been jamming and dancing to it for three days now!! She thinks it's so cool that her teachers are so 'hip' with music unlike her mom who overdoes the classical music thing. ; ).

Reaching Out, Learning about Each Other and the World

By
This week our focus has challenged us to "be the world to one," rather than just "one in the world." Discussions have run deep with how our actions and words truly have an impact on everyone around us. We also talked about how all of us: humanity and nature make the music of this world, and without our unique voice, that music is missing something. Discover what you want to add to the music. Speak up. Say something. We wrestled with big history this week. We celebrated  Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and The Little Rock 5, Ruby Bridges, and the thousands of others who took a stand during the Civil Rights Era. To understand this better, we looked at primary source pictures -- these leaders, their actions, their speeches, their marches -- which brought them to life. We examined timelines and asked powerful questions. Again, another opportunity to look at the world -- right now -- and ask, "How can I be the world to one? What do I want to say that makes...
