This week we began reading The Dinosaurs of Waterhouse Hawkins, by Barbara Kerley. It is the biography of Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins who dreamed of building life-size models of dinosaurs in the 19th century. His accomplishments led us to think about our hopes and dreams for third grade. Children brainstormed what they might like to accomplish this school year. Next, each child completed a reflection sheet to help them narrow their decisions down. Finally, on Friday they will choose one aspiration to share. They can decide based on what's important to them at school, what they want to get better at, or what they want to learn about.
Have a conversation with your child. Talk about your hopes and dreams. You'll be able to see your child's final decision hanging in the classroom when you come for Curriculum Night, Tuesday September 14.
