Hello again from Grade 2! Fall, or autumn, has finally fallen upon us. The trees outside are turning a variety of lovely colors, the air is crisp and refreshing, and the students can celebrate hitting the halfway point of the school year.
Part of the start of the second half of the school year is taking a look at where we are as a class, and where we want to be come the end of the year. So one day, we decided to be Inquirers and Thinkers, and discuss how we want to finish the year. What challenges have we faced, what risks have we taken, and what goals are we still working towards?
All year we have stylized ourselves as a team. We are individuals, but we are working towards a shared goal and learning how to support each other on that journey. So, together, the class came up with our goal for the rest of the year:
Make a great team, a strong team, and a kind atmosphere.
(They had recently studied the word “atmosphere” and how it can be used to describe the feel of a place. They catch on quick!)
To motivate us for the second half, we made posters to celebrate our new target and encourage us every day. Have a look!
Likewise, Grade 2 visited the local professional soccer team, Matsumoto Yamaga, at their practice field. Stay tuned to hear more about that next time!
