Mission Statement of Mr. Chrzasczcz class
A mission statement is something that a classroom comes up with that can be a goal they aspire to each and everyday. If you were not able to come up with one as a class the first week, consider Mr. C's as a model and it can be a Morning Meeting topic. Please post your classroom mission statement somewhere in your room.
