Word of the Year

Happy New Year everyone! 2015 has gotten off to a chilly start. We stayed indoors all day today because it was too cold to be outside. It was awesome to see all the familiar faces this morning and to meet our new student, Isla. We are very happy to have her join our learning community. The class had a chance to talk about the holidays and the end of 2014 as well as the start of a new year and all the exciting adventures that lie ahead. I recently saw a neat idea about a "Word of the Year"....a word that we can think about the whole year that has meaning to us. I have never been very good at making (or keeping) resolutions so I shared this idea with the class. We had time to discuss and share some ideas.
