THANK YOU!

Happy Monday!

Thank you to Helen, Delina and Angela for their snack and materials donations to our classroom. We appreciate anything you can bring in, especially nutritious snacks. Also, we are still looking for 5 more wire hangers and 9 shoe boxes.

REMINDERS:

Tomorrow is picture day!

Homework needs to be initialed by you. I do make note of assignments your student turns in so they CAN bring in anything they work on and put it in my mailbox to be documented if that is easier.

HOMEWORK TIPS
*Please reinforce positive study and homework habits. Being proud of your student is one way to reinforce their good work.
*Homework can be done in the morning when your student has slept well if this works better.
*If the assignment takes long, take short breaks in between.
*Students may work better in a quiet spot with minimal distractions.

You should be VERY proud of your student, they are working hard!

Best,

Rebecca

Story by Seth

Once upon a time there was a cheetah that’s so fast he could run for 30 seconds.
He fell off a cliff, he survived.

It smelled like stinky socks.
He went to the desert and died by the scorching sun.

Character Awards

I am happy to announce that our first two character awards were given to Alexis Caetano and Skyler Grant on Friday.

Alexis’ award was given for “courage.” Alexis has been working and trying very hard. She is determined to write well and provides the class with stories she reads in the “author’s chair” that make her friends laugh. I have already seen her take risks in writing in the first two weeks of school.

Skyler was given a character award for “responsibility.” I often catch Skyler helping her peers. All the students in the class go to Skyler first for help if they are unsure about directions or want help spelling a word. She is patient and kind with her peers and always takes the time to explain to them.

I am very proud of both these students. I am always looking for students who exhibit good character.

Congratulations to Alexis and Skyler!

Reminders:

Students should take home their homework folders every day and bring them back the following day. I occasionally add notes for you or permission slips. The book log should stay in the folder at all times.

If your student is out for sickness or vacation please contact me so I can provide some catch-up work for them. Notification to the school (for vacation) is required two weeks beforehand.

Have your student eat plenty of nutritious food and get lots of sleep. I welcome any snack foods for the students for our “afternoon” snack. Please avoid sugary snacks.

Class Activities

Proud Panthers

Hi everyone!

We had a great first week. Please check our blog on a regular basis and feel free to comment on the students' posts. They have been working hard already and I am very proud of them.

Reminders:

The homework calendar should be initialed by you as the assignments are completed. Please also initial your student's reading log.

Students know that they must read every day. Please encourage them.

Please send your student to school with a reusable water bottle or plastic cup. We are trying to "go green" in our classroom.

If you have any old towels to donate please bring them to school. (We will be using them instead of paper towels.)

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact me ASAP as I am trying to finalize our schedule.

Thanks so much, have a great holiday weekend.

-Rebecca

Students earn choice time minutes and can use them on Friday afternoon.

This week we did many activities including math games, computers and writing.
