This could be overwhelming, but as Dr Martin Luther King Jr. said,

... and this is exactly how I have been approaching life and learning at Ormiston Primary School.
On day one, I set myself a goal of knowing each Learner's name by the end of the week - that was 86 names! By the end of the first week, I knew 79. There were seven Learners who were not in my Hapu or iDevelop groups and I was finding it difficult to identify them. I hadn't achieved my goal. Perhaps it was never going to be achievable?
Not achieving this goal was not going to be the end of the world, so instead of feeling guilty that seven Learners had missed my radar, I made an effort during iExperience to introduce myself to them and find out a little bit about each one as a person - to know the individual. The opportunity to meet all Learners through our rotational learning activities is a great way to touch base and understand who they are and what they can bring to LH2.
Bring on Term 2!
