Dear 1st Grade Families,

Happy 2016 and Welcome Back! We hope everyone had a wonderful

break and enjoyed time with family and friends!
Please see the attached New Years Brainstorming Chart. We are
working on developing goals in our 1st Grade classrooms. As we continue
to learn and practice the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Kids, this is a
wonderful way to use Habit 2 - Begin With The End In Mind.
At the beginning of the year, Martell teachers shared a personal goal
with staff and students. Students watched as we tracked our
progress throughout October, November and December. This was a
wonderful learning experience for all of us. We will now develop a
classroom goal and students will each work on personal goals. To help
us along this journey, we need your help at home. Please sit with your
child and discuss ideas for each section of the chart. Write your
childs thoughts as best you can in the space provided. He/she will use
this chart to work from in the classroom to chart these goals.
Please return the Brainstorming Chart by Monday January 11th.
Thank you so much and Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
The First Grade Team
Mrs. DuBay ( Miss Liwienski)
