Great Start

To kick off our school year, we ended our first day with a celebration that the students really enjoyed.  As a staff, we decided that we would assemble all of our grades to welcome them to the start of what will be a great year "together."  Throughout the day, and certainly the first four days, students and teachers will spend time building their classroom communities around the Responsive Classroom approach.  We didn't want to forget that we are a school-wide community of learners as well, which was a major focus for the assembly.  Jane Hansen, our physical education teacher, also taught the whole school a dance that was set to the song, "Celebration," by Kool and the Gang.  At Sibley, we are focused on learning and individual growth.  To that end, "We Celebrate Learning."
