It’s almost the start of a new school year, and I can’t wait to get into the classroom tomorrow and jump back into the world of teaching, learning, and discovering. There are bulletin boards to be decorated, bins to be organized and plans to be made, but most importantly, there are 30 eleven and twelve year olds that need to walk into a room with a teacher that is ready to help them grow, learn, and experience the world. My number one goal this year is to provide all of my students with questions and challenges that make them think deeply--all day, everyday. I want this year to be a year where I open the doors of discovery to the world that surrounds them.
I am looking forward to teaching ancient world history again and helping the students discover the world they live in through the world that has been. I am excited to start a new journey teaching science and helping students discover the natural world around them. I am ecstatic to introduce students to new worlds, new people, and new stories through reading, writing and listening. And finally, I cannot wait to help my students develop the skills they need to analyze the world of numbers we live in. My world will change when my students walk through my door on the first day of school, and hopefully so too, will theirs.
I am VERY excited to get into my classroom and create the space where my kids will learn and grow. I feel like each year we teach we grow just like they will in different ways...You are going to do a great job (as always), Kimber! Your students are lucy to have you as their teacher!!
