We will....

This week we worked together to decide how the agents of the Dryden Bureau of Investigation will conduct themselves.  I asked the class what makes a good agent?  Each child entered words into a word cloud that described the characteristics and behavior that they thought was the most important to success this year.  The size of the word in the word cloud represents the number of times that word was given as a response.  I love the fact that so many people thought teamwork was important.  The kids also thought it was important to be brave and take risks in our learning.  They also thought it was important to take action and be active learners! Everyone had great ideas! Each child signed their name to show that they are committed to showing good character and behavior in our classroom.  We're going to have a great year!

FYI:  (Students typed their answers independently, and I can not edit the responses once they've been entered. So, please excuse some of the spelling errors in our word cloud.  Please focus on the amazing ideas that these students had about our year! In addition, some words like defense, disguised and sneaky relate to traditional agents and don't necessarily relate to our work in the classroom, but we were accepting all answers.)
