As 2018 comes to a close, and I know that my students are spending time with those closest to them, my wish is that they are taking some of the ideas from our classroom back home with them. In addition to a well deserved break, I hope that my Communication and Literacy students think about the supernatural solutions to social issues they created in their comic books and look for opportunities to apply real world solutions to those same topics. I know that as my English 9 students prepare to tackle the Bard of Avon, William Shakespeare, in groups, they are using what they learn from their homes to inspire their work together in class.
My hope for the coming year is that our community of learners continues to grow as individuals and together. I hope that this is a year where we can learn with each other and from each other, especially when we disagree. At Nipmuc, I am inspired every day by how much the students learn when they take time to be listener to each other. I hope this New Year brings you and your family peace, happiness, health, and love, Mr. Diamond
