My goal this year is to post a WALT–We Are Learning To- at the beginning of every week. WALT will be posted on the bulletin board outside the class, in the classroom, and on our class website. There will be a WEEKLY WALT for the areas of Reading, Writing, Math, and Science or Social. This will help students to know what they will be learning each week. It will also help let parents know what WALT do.
WALT = We Are Learning To…
