The first semester of school is about learning rules, routines, and responsibilities. It’s about figuring out how to get along with a group, do some work for the teacher, and not get into trouble. It’s about having fun and making friends. And it’s about finding out who you are away from your home and parents.
The second semester is about getting serious.
It’s about doing work you’re proud to show to your parents.
It’s about reading out loud to your teacher.
It’s about doing math at the board in front of your peers.
It’s about taking tests and proving that you know what you know.
It’s about discovering that you’re a “big kid”.
It’s about becoming a student and understanding that you have a lot more years of school ahead of you.
It’s about being confident that you are a good student.
It’s about getting ready to move on…..
