I've created a web page for my students in the last few weeks and wrote these words in the general announcement section that gets a snippet on the home page...
"We're going to have a great year this year! Not only as a school but as classes too. I look forward to getting to know each one of you as we work together to learn and grow.
I found a wonderful quote over the holidays by an educator called Rob Pelvin, that talks about what it means to be a good learner. It says nothing about being brainy, a neat writer, or the best at tests, but good learners....
• work well with others
• are willing to take risks
• are willing to make mistakes and learn from them
• have a good sense of humor
• teach others
Anyone can learn well if this is the case... so I hope we are not afraid to make our time count this year by giving learning our best!"
