Crew

I joined the Detroit Prep community at the beginning of this school year and it has been nothing short of amazing. The feeling of being a part of something so special such as the DP Crew is awesome. I teach first grade and we value our crew a great deal. Our students love celebrating and lifting one another up whenever we can. Every morning in the Pond Crew we begin our day with Morning Crew. That is a time where we greet one another, make announcements, and discuss our plans for the day. We also end our day with the Closing Crew where we share our appreciation for one another from various encounters that have happened throughout the day. The students love working with one another and being a part of the Pond Crew.

One of our latest Learning Targets in Morning Crew was being able to understand that everyone has feelings, and wanting to get along with people who are similar to and different from one another. We have a greeting, initiative, a share, morning message and debrief all centered around our Learning target. This gives our students a chance to greet one another in song, dance, and or a simple smile and a hello. During Morning and Closing Crew we get to experience a togetherness that we all look forward to every day!
