Today we reviewed the plus, minus, and equals signs. We played memory to help us recall each signs appropriate name. To earn a pair, we had to correctly identify each sign.
After our game, we reviewed how we can create each sign with our very own bodies!
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

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.
