2019-20 Class Mission Statement
WE ARE KIND LIKE THE TINMAN, BRAVE LIKE THE LION, SMART LIKE THE SCARECROW AND DREAMERS LIKE DOROTHY. THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE 2ND GRADE! Great organizations thoughtfully create mission statements as guiding values. Because we want our classroom experience to be great, our class developed our own mission statement. This statement will guide our class and provide vision for the way we interact and work together in the coming year. We are so proud of my 2nd graders for developing this mission statement. We began the exercise in four small groups. I gave them each a 25 piece puzzle. The twist was that I didn't give them the box and so they didn't know what the puzzle looked like. I timed them as they put the puzzle together and as you can imagine it took them quite awhile. I then gave them a different puzzle but I also gave them the box. They completed the puzzles much faster! When I asked them why, a boy answered, "That's easy! We had a picture of what the puzzle was supposed to look like and so it was much easier to put together!" Yes, they understood! I then asked them to come up with our class mission statement and after creating a very long list of all their ideas, they decided on... WE ARE KIND LIKE THE TINMAN, BRAVE LIKE THE LION, SMART LIKE THE SCARECROW AND DREAMERS LIKE DOROTHY. THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE 2ND GRADE! |
