Hopes and Dreams

Today we took some time to think about what our hopes and dreams are for third grade. We wrote our own individual lists first and then some of us shared with the whole group. This conversation about our hopes will help us talk about the rules we think are important later this week. We need to think about what will help make our classroom a place that is safe and friendly where everyone can learn. Take a look at our hopes and dreams:

• I hope that I meet new friends.
• I'd like to finish Harry Potter 4.
• I hope that I can do a project on whatever I want.
• I hope we do lots of writing.
• I hope that I pass the SOLs.
• I really want to get better at math and art.
• I hope we go to art lots of times.
• I'd like to learn more about electonrics.
