Students in Action!
It's been a wonderful week at Hastings. Mrs. Stanton and I have been able to visit classrooms and complete back to school lessons with our students. We talked about our jobs at school and reviewed what it looks like to be safe, be kind, take care of our school, and do our best! We brainstormed ways to do this in our classrooms, at lunch, at recess, in the hallways, and more! We were also able to read a story together about making new friends and practicing the golden rule! Below you will see some of the slides we used in our lesson with students as well as some action shots from the week. I can tell it is going to be a terrific year!
