 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.
