Hopes and Dreams

This week our class has been reading, writing, and discussing hopes and dreams. We discussed different hopes and dreams (or goals) that people might have and which ones would be good goals to set for school this year (dreams that I can help them achieve in the classroom during first grade). Some of the first grade hopes and dreams chosen in our class were to learn to read, to do hard math work, to learn to use computers and ipads, to become writers, to tie shoes, and many more! After picking hopes and dreams, our class discussed rules and how having a set of rules helps us to be safe, have fun, and also to reach our hopes and dreams. For example, if my hope and dream is to get better at math, rules of working kindly with a partner, using quiet voices in the classroom, taking care of math materials, etc would help me to achieve that goal! Below are photos both of students acting out what their hope and dream is, and photos of us working to define our school/classroom rules.
