My third graders are progressing steadily. Our biggest challenge this year is to love the people around us even if we don’t like them sometimes. It is something I have to constantly work on myself as an adult. I’m also trying to teach them to crave learning so they can use what they know to change their world. I gave them a very dramatic example of the people in our town that beg for money, many because they didn’t get the education they need to work. I think it has helped some of them take more responsibility for their learning.
We have 5 nationalities in our classroom this year. Most of my students are Dominican, one is from Canada , one from Puerto Rico, one from Germany , and I’m from the U.S. One day, we all took turns singing our national anthems. It was a spontaneous thing that ended up being a really good team-building activity.
