Leo Lionni - one of my favorite authors - prompted us to think about our own hopes and dreams for first grade. We brainstormed ideas about what we want to do and accomplish in first grade. Every child contributed and as a group, we came up with a long list of hopes and dreams. Then individually, each child thought about what was most important to them and wrote about their own hopes and dreams for the school year and what they were excited about.You will have a chance to read your child's hopes and dreams at open house (next Thursday). If not, INQUIRE with your child what their hope and dream is for First Grade. If you're a parent or guardian, think about your hopes and dreams for your child. Think about how we can work together to achieve this hope and dream! Please feel free to share your own hope and dream for your child with me.
