Community

Every year I spend the first six weeks of school building a sense of community in my classroom.  I believe it is a very important part of my curriculum.  A strong sense of community gives my students the ability to take risks and try new things.  One way I build a sense of belonging in Room 11 is through morning meetings.  First we greet each other, then we read a morning message that tells students what to expect during the day, next we have sharing and finally we end with an activity where we sing songs, play games and laugh.
