"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education." -Martin Luther King Jr.
That is our goal here at our school and as a staff, we strive to teach both the importance of education and character.
You will find children from all walks of life, some that have it all and some that have lives that would break your heart. Something that brings them all together is our school, and I have found, for some, it is their safe haven. I love the enthusiasm they all have for learning, and they love to discover new things.
One hundred percent of our school children receive free lunch. We are also bordered with a reservation and have farms all around our rural area. As you can imagine, we are a very diverse school with many cultures that flow through our halls. It is a great place to work, and the children are incredible kids to teach. I love my job!
My Project
As teachers, we are always trying to find ways to create family engagement! I would like to make some bags to do just that! I am asking for help in filling these 4 bags with some amazing things the kids can take home and work on with their parents and siblings! In two of those, the kids will go home with a Detective Osmo and an iPad with some fun snacks to eat as they play. In my other two bags I will put a book they can read as a family, like the Land Of Stories, or I have some about dinosaurs and they will go home with activities like a fossil for the family to excavate.
The students will also be adopting "puppies." They will have to learn how to take care of these stuffed puppies, making food for them out of clay.
We will be talking about the responsibilities each kid has in their home and in the community.
We are so excited for our family engagement that we have planned!
