In our classroom we have hopes and dreams that we plan to reach during the this academic year. These hopes and dreams will enable us to establish guidelines of how we will work together as a community of learners.. // 1. “My hope for this class is that we learn to respect each other..” // // 2. “My hope is that we discover our gifts and talent. And that each of us participates in opportunities to nurture them.” // // 3. “My dream is that all of you will actively engage in learning.” //
