First Day

Hi everyone, hopefully everyone's first day went as well as mine. Everyone in the school is actively involved with the kids. The custodians at this school take on more responsibility than the typical roles of a custodian, for example they make their own bulletin boards without being asked and they are in charge of the robotics team at the school. Another neat aspect to the school is each classroom has a city and state along with a mailbox. The "post office" is ran by fourth and fifth graders and anyone who has the address can send mail to anyone as long as they have the correct address. I also discovered a couple of field trip opportunities that can be related to Social Studies that are in walking distance of the school.

Maggie,

This is an unusual school - it will be a great experience for you. I find it important to include everyone who walks in the doors of a school. This makes for a richer school - more people have a vested interest. Great job!
