Themes for the year:
HRRS/JDA "Where Faith and Knowledge Meet"
Dear Teachers,
Aug. 16, 2016
Below you will find the themes arrived at by the Curriculum Committee for the 2016- 2017 school year. Please display the Motto somewhere in your classroom.
Our classroom subject themes should revolve around the overall theme: MY PLACE IN THE WORLD.
Motto: HRR/JDA-“ Where Faith and Knowledge Meet”
MY PLACE IN THE WORLD (School Wide Curriculum Theme: You build around it with your teacher units you have planned in the subject areas).
Trimester 1: Who am I? family values, heritage, what does it mean to be a student, my language etc.
Trimester 2: Where do I live? Map of the world, pin point all the places in the world the kids come from, etc.
Trimester 3: The places I'll go - professions, transitions into high school, college, travel, ways of communication, environment (Earth Day) etc.
I hope these titles can help with ideas for bulletin boards. Be sure and have Classroom Rules posted in your classroom before the first day of school.
First Day of School Newsletter: Everyone should have gotten an invitation in their e-mail to set up their accounts with Smore.com. Let me know if you need help figuring out how to write your newsletters using this website.
Thank you Teachers and Welcome Back!!
