“Hold fast to your dreams

For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird

That cannot fly”

-Langston Hughes

     Everyone has a dream that they hold dearly to their hearts. Our children are no different. They have dreams of being doctors, reading more books, having more friends, reaching higher grades, and the list goes on and on. Although some dreams are in closer reach than others, I want to encourage all 21 of my children to reach for their dreams and instill in them the confidence that their dreams are attainable. 

This past week was such a short week but we managed to still get so much done! Now that we seem to have a hang of addition we’ve switched up our thinking to work with word problems. Word problems can be challenging in that the students have a hard time understanding what exactly the question is asking. We’ve been working on dissecting these problems to first see what the problem is asking of us and secondly to understand how we can find the answer to the problem. The kids have been collaborating within groups to solve these word problems. This coming week we will be working more with addition word problems and also working with subtraction.

The kids worked so hard on their friendship day letters and they came out so amazing! They wrote such thoughtful words and every student really appreciated the kind words about themselves. Thank you all for contributing to our friendship day celebration!
