Week Of August 25-30, 2008

Hello everyone,

You received graded papers last week. Keep them at home for review and your 
records. If there are any questions please e-mail or call me at school.

       ***Please Remember to Return Important Papers ***

Last week our class had our first auction using our "Bayou Bucks".  This is 
our class reward system that allows each student a chance to earn money for 
good behavior, completed assignments, compliments from others, basically any 
positive actions, etc. I think that it was a success.  Hopefully, the 
students will learn several lessons from this system.

There will be another auction next Friday. The students can spend their 
money to buy items.  This is a special treat for them and it is a good way 
to keep them focused on their goals for each week.

If you have anything that you'd like to donate for auction please send it 
with your child.  We always appreciate your help!

AR reading log is placed in each student's folder at the beginning of the 
week.  Make sure that your child is reading at least 60 minutes per week.  
They can test on the stories that they have read. Each student who returns 
the log signed by a parent will earn a "Bayou Buck".

The diagonostic scores for AR are also in your child's folder. Please read 
them and if there are concerns e-mail or call me at school.
