News from the 402
News and Notes from Mr. Meier's 4th Grade
Two Weeks In
Most of our focus these first two weeks of school is to get to know each other. The students are getting to know my teaching style, while I am getting to know how they learn. Next week we will be hitting the ground running with our curriculum. Now that doesn't mean that we will be solely focused on academics. We will also be working on growing ourselves at people. My goal as an educator is to get the students to do the majority of the talking. That means when you walk into Room 402 it may not look like a classroom you remember from your time in elementary school. We are constantly wondering, talking about our thinking, and questioning each other. Making mistakes and getting wrong answers is one of the best things that can happen, because that is when the real learning happens!!!
I will go into greater detail on what and how we learn on Partnership Night, which is next Thursday, September 14 @ 6:30. I hope to see everyone there!
