OLQM is having
their annual can drive! Please bring in
any canned foods to add to our donation.
Theme for the month:
All About Us!
Enduring understandings that the
student should have by the end of the unit:
·
I am
unique; there is no one who looks, feels, thinks and acts exactly like I do.
·
I feel
different ways at different times for different reasons.
·
I am part
of a family and a classroom community.
·
My family
is important and unique.
·
My
classroom is a community. All of the people in my class are important and
unique.
·
I can
help make my classroom a fun, safe and exciting place.
