We have moved to the short e vowel sound. Today we worked on our fine motor skills as we cut out consonants to use with our -et family sliders. The students decided to sing as they worked. I just had to take a quick video! They are singing a song about a rainbow.
After we completed our cutting we were ready to read our words!
At Calvert School, the educational journey begins with CURIOUS students, who, under the guidance of skilled teachers, MASTER the fundamentals, and grow into confident young adults with a defined sense of PURPOSE. This developmental arch represents the phases of a Calvert education.
Curiosity
A Calvert student is encouraged to EXPLORE, question, and wonder, and learn. Curiosity, noun: 1. an emotion related to natural inquisitive behavior such as exploration, investigation, and learning 2. a drive to know new things
Mastery
Through repetition and practice, mastery is achieved. At Calvert School, the FUNDAMENTALS of learning are stressed at the earliest age, allowing students to master the essentials. Mastery, noun: 1. full command of a subject of study 2. expertise in an identified field of interest
Purpose
Calvert students have the CONFIDENCE and self-assurance to discover their strengths, deepest values, and passions. Purpose, noun: 1. an intended or desired result; end; aim; goal. 2. determination; resoluteness.
I am so excited to begin the school year! I am looking forward to meeting all of my new 6B friends. In my previous years here at Calvert I have taught Pilot, as well as Small Groups. During my time as a Small Groups teacher I worked with Pilot, Sixth, and Seventh Age students in reading, math, and technology.
