Orientation to Your School page
A child comes
home from his first day at school. His Mother asks, "Well, what
did you learn today?"
The kid replies, "Not enough. They want me to come back
tomorrow."
seven year old
grandson when asked what he wanted for dinner replied: "Feed me
knowledge!"
TEACHER NOTES:
At beginning of school year have
students fill out an info sheet so you can see their special
abilities, hobbies interests
Survey parents at
beginning of school year to see what skills, expertise, help
they can provide to get them involved.
Each year I had
students write their learning goals or resolutions for the year
on the first day of school. I had them review and update them
periodically throughout the school year. (Thanksgiving, 100th
Day, New Year's, Valentine's Day...) I kept their resolutions
(on paper & online) and returned them at the end of the school
year.
