Promises, Positivity, and a Brand New Year!

9/7/2017

Welcome to your first blog post of grade five! Each week, I will post a prompt and one of your homework tasks will be responding to the blog. We will read your posts on Fridays during social media morning (period 2). This has been such a busy end of summer as I planned and prepared to start at John T Tuck. In getting a new classroom ready this year, I was thinking about new beginnings, fresh starts and about how change is both scary and good for you. As you think about the person you want to be this year, I’d like about what it will take to become that person. How do you become the person you want to be, what steps will you have to take? What are three rules or promises that you can make that will help you become this person? What will you strive for this year?
Here are my promises to you!

This year I promise to:
1. Give 110% in my lesson planning and delivery. I will try to engage you through the activities I plan in class, making them meaningful, powerful, and helpful.
2. Listen to you. If you have questions, concerns, ideas, thoughts, or anything else and you would like to talk to me about them, I will be there to listen. This can be in class, after school, before school, or at break. You voice matters, you matter!
3. Expect amazing things. I promise that my expectations for you will be high, and that I will expect that you can achieve in all subjects, I know that you are an exceptional learner and that you will succeed in so many different ways!
What are your promises?

Thank you so much for your hard work, enthusiasm and dedication! There's nothing like seeing your child engaged, excited and looking forward to school each morning!! Thx for the inspiration to include meditation in my daily schedule as well.

Thanks for the offer Kate but I think I'll let them come to it naturally on their own.
Maybe once we've hit the new year and we're a bit more confident with our writing.
Thanks for asking Kate! Say hi to River Oaks and the 6-2 crew for me!

Hi Mr. Steltman, I couldn't find the other blog post so i'm just going to write on this one.This is week two's homework:)
Romina heaved my bag into the classroom, as I looked around at the classroom I noticed Mr. Steltman stand at the whiteboard at the front of the room. I sat down beside Romina and looked at Mr. Steltman. I wasn't the closest to the white board but I was still right in front of it. Everyone was talking and Mr. Steltman clapped to get our attention. We did our agenda and Mr. Steltman told us about him. He was very kind. What a wonderful way to start a wonderful year!!!!!
