My classroom is filled with 25 eager five-year-olds. Many of these children are just beginning their journeys away from mom and dad. Some have never seen the inside of a classroom and have never walked in a line, and most have never held a pencil. These precious learners are getting ready for their lifelong path of learning. But before they can begin their trek, they must have solid foundations. These foundations must be built in an environment of community, organization, mutual respect, and routine.
Our school and district places a heavy emphasis on social and emotional learning interconnected with all core academic subjects. Our school is the largest elementary school in the district nearing almost 900 students. With so many individuals, community, respect for personal space, and organization is an essential skill for these kindergartners.
