The Beginning! Are we ready?

NEXT WEEK OUR NEW STUDENTS WILL ARRIVE. ARE WE READY TO MEET THEIR LITERACY NEEDS?
HAVE WE PREPARED OUR ROOMS TO WELCOME THE NEW AND EAGER STUDENTS? WILL THEY FEEL WELCOME AND EMBRACE OWNERSHIP OF THIS NEW CLASSROOM?
LET'S MAKE SURE THAT THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF THE YEAR ARE SPENT IN MAKING THE CHILDREN FEEL CONFIDENT, WELCOMED, AND EMOTIONALLY READY TO LEARN.
THE TIME WE SPEND NOW SETTING THE STAGE FOR LEARNING WILL REWARD THE STUDENTS AND OURSELVES A HUNDRED TIMES OVER.
