I usually have students for two years and sometimes three. Even though the questions I ask are usually similar year-to-year, the kids change and their goals as well, so it's great to read what they say each August. Have a great year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10998735316905096776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238612514264591228.post-23625369171105048842014-08-26T20:53:19.368-06:002014-08-26T20:53:19.368-06:00Feel free to steal away.

It's a great way to get a feel for the kids and their families as we all enter the start of the year.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10998735316905096776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238612514264591228.post-6635318509998593762014-08-26T20:49:58.049-06:002014-08-26T20:49:58.049-06:00I'm so excited to finally get everyone in the ...I'm so excited to finally get everyone in the classroom and to get started!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10998735316905096776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238612514264591228.post-7395478831517947612014-08-26T20:24:23.730-06:002014-08-26T20:24:23.730-06:00Asking your students to write you a letter before ...Asking your students to write you a letter before the school year starts is an AWESOME idea! In my school, the sixth grade LA teacher asks the students to write to their seventh grade teacher regarding three things they learned about themselves and/or hope to accomplish. The only draw back this year is that I moved up with the students, so my letters probably aren't as exciting as yours. Best of luck for a successful year full of magic! From the looks of it, you're about to meet some awesome and unique students.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238612514264591228.post-74969552537207006952014-08-26T20:23:27.659-06:002014-08-26T20:23:27.659-06:00What a great way to begin building a meaningful re...What a great way to begin building a meaningful relationship with your students.
