New school year, new building, new space, new
teacher/facilitators and new learners/classmates are a lot of new things
to get used to for the students and for the facilitators! We are all
super excited to start this school year off right. We have worked a lot
over the summer to make sure that we started the year off creating a
culture of collaboration and learning. We were so glad to see so many
of you at our Meet the Teacher night. Please let us know if you have
any questions or concerns. We are only an email or phone call away. If you did not receive a packet on Monday night look for one in the Monday folder.
This first few days we have been working with the learners on
getting to know each other and leaning about how we can use Trust,
Respect and Responsibility to become well rounded students/citizens. We
have done some fun activities to get to know each other and to learn
about these characteristics. We worked together as a team to come up
with our class "Norms". We decided we could work hard at living the
following class "Norms"
Be Responsible for your actions and behavior.
Be Respectful of yourself, others, and property.
Be Truthful/Trustworthy, to yourself and others.
Be Prepared to come to school to do your BEST!
Treat others the way YOU would want to be Treated!
We will be teaching the students about Echo this week in our classes. Everyone is now in Echo including parents, For parents to log in the first time your username is the email you gave the school and the password for everyone for the first log in is
iarisecho . If you are not able to log in please email Amy Gerard @ AGerard@plymouth.k12.in.us. We will be having an Echo Parent Night this coming Thursday. August 21 at 6:30pm here at Riverside. There are reminder sheets with the correct information coming home in the Monday folders.
We have finished our first three days today by having six speakers
from around the community come and speak to us about how they use Trust,
Respect and Responsibility in their lives. This was a neat way to
culminate our work in this area. We hope that the students have learned
something and that all of this work helps us to have the best year!
Enjoy some of photos from this busy week!
