What I Believe About First Graders
• They are all amazing in many ways, with their own individual strengths
• Every child is unique
• Every child has the capacity for independence
• Every child can and will learn
• Every child deserves to be treated with respect, all day and every day
• Every child should feel safe at school
• Every child deserves a school environment that is kind, caring, and full of compassion
• Every child needs to have consistent, clear, and high expectations
