Hi all, another busy week in Room 7. I must say I'm very proud of the SHARP work and behaviour...even when there can be a bit of un-SHARP behaviour going on - it's a quick hi ho...and on we go!
I'm working with Room 7 on helping each other out - this is both in class and in the playground. I work quite a bit with the children on how to be a good friend and how to help children who are feeling a bit lonely. We often talk about helping each other and how there is 1 teacher & 28 students - so we are all there to help each other!
Welcome to 'Question Week' - here is a link for some ideas that you could do in your home =)

From the article:
Julie Grimm, a second grade teacher based in Hagerstown, MD, told me she does a question exercise called 10 in 10—in which students are expected to come up with 10 questions about a topic in 10 minutes.
