3 B's

We have spent a great deal of time establishing our classroom community and getting to know each other. It is important that we feel safe and comfortable with each other... This allows us to take risks and put our best efforts into our learning. The social curriculum is as important as the academic! We have worked hard to make 2B a place of respect, trust and fun and will weave these concepts into our curriculum each and every day.

Next week we will create hopes & dreams for our year together in 2nd grade.  We talked about the importance of having classroom values to help accomplish our goals and grow as learners.

2B worked together to create classroom values and expectations. 2B's thoughts about "rules" for 2nd grade are written on the sentence strips. Rather than having many "rules" they really boil down to 3 main "values." 

The 3 B's-Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe

We talked about what these three values meant, what they look and sound like, and broke them down into positive language we developed to have ownership over them.

Please check your child's APE book for an explanation about our values. Take the time to have a conversation with your child about what each means and reinforce them at home too!
