Students in Action!
We've had 6 fantastic days of school! Students are practicing routines, getting to know one another, learning expectations, and building community! When I visit each learning space I am continuously amazed at the children's genuine excitement for school, and the teacher's ongoing energy and positivity. A few terrific things I've noticed at Hastings this week are:
- Students reading and conferring with their teachers
- Engaging morning meetings
- Children inviting others to play
- Collecting data on back to school feelings
- Asking interesting questions
