Our Planning Group is having so much fun getting ready for the opening of the new school year. Our big task for the week is just to plan out a single day for both the first and second grade classes. We are looking at the day through many lenses: curriculum, state standards, state of the art research in literacy and mathematicity, the study of our local community, and building a school culture.
We put everything down on paper and then discuss whether we are missing anything, what could possibly go wrong, and Plan B’s. Lolita keeps inspiring us with passages from Sukhomlynsky’s My Heart I Give To Children. Tonight we are home visiting two of our students and our goal is to visit every family before Labor Day.
Our consultants are working with an energy like the sun! Lolita’s post links to our new Longhouse School Blog.
By the end of the week, Dee will have received all of her credentials to be our cook and operate the kitchen!
A very exciting time, indeed!
