It was a week of reflection, looking back with satisfaction and looking forward with anticipation, as we prepared for our day of student-led conferences today.  Each child planned an agenda of portfolio items and classroom displays to share with his or her family.  Pondering goals for the rest of the year required some deep thought as well.  The result was a wonderful day of celebrating our accomplishments and setting a course for the future.

We also did some group reflection we thought you might enjoy.

Some moments we smiled together included . . .

*growing the mold!

*building our models of Mount Vernon

*sharing our ideas and listening to each other

*R5 (read, relax, reflect, respond, rap)

*singing praise songs together

*personalizing our blogs

*creating our pennants

*crazy, silly, challenging teambuilding activities

*figuring out what is in the History Mystery Box

 

Some of our class accomplishments include:

*All of us have read at least one book in the 40 Book Challenge!

*We are nearly perfect at our R5 procedure every day now.

*Every single person has learned all four of our Bible verses so far.

*We have been dedicated to improving our physical fitness as a team.

*We have been getting our work done, but not just done.  WELL done.

*We made the most gigantic mess when we were building our Mount Vernon models, but when cleanup time came, we worked together as a team and made the room beautiful again in less than five minutes.

*We learned about being CyberSmart, wrote a number of pieces of writing, and personalized our blogs.  Then we were able to unveil our blogs this week.

Can’t wait to see what’s next in our journey together . . . .
