Class Community

Practicing 'debugging' with Ms. Wideman

Our Class Rules

A very important part of our first 6 weeks of school is creating a class community.  When children feel secure in their class, they are more willing to try new activities to further their learning. 

We create class community in a variety of ways:
  • Getting to know each other through our "About Me" unit
  • Sharing our hopes and dreams for the year
  • Creating our class rules together  (In case you'd like to read the details, from above, our rules state: be safe, treat others how you would like to be treated, respect the environment around you, try your best)
  • Practicing respectful ways to solve social problems (We call this "debugging" and recently sent home a sheet that gives ideas for practicing.)
  • Playing games, having fun and enjoying each other's company
