Our goal this week is to create a classroom MISSION STATEMENT!
Our mission statement should explain our reason for coming together day after day. It should inspire students to work towards our collective goal. It should be short and to the point. It should be specific and reasonable.
Examples of mission statements:
"The mission of Mothers Against Drunk Driving is to stop drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime and prevent underage drinking." from MADD
"The mission of the Science Museum of Long Island is to: -Stimulate and nurture children's natural interest in science and help them to discover the power of science through the fun of science. -Provide science education through hands-on learning. -Elevate the level of science literacy" from the Science Museum of Long Island
Answer the following questions on a piece of paper:
1) What is the purpose of education?
2) What prevents us from being successful?
3) How can this community (in K-2) come together to ensure, or at least support, the success of every member?
4) If you had to write our mission statement on your own, what would it be?
"The mission of this classroom is to...
5) Do you believe in this mission? Can you "buy into" this mission? Will succeeding in this help you in any way?
