Tying Shoes
Please help your child learn to tie their shoes. We
do not tie shoes after December so start practicing so they will be ready come
January 4, 2010!
|
New behavior system
If your child is still having problems due to
behavior, I have a plan of action. Starting Monday November 30, your child
will have a daily calendar that will show you how many times that day your
child had a problem listening and following directions. Your child has a chart
that we place a tally mark on for each time we have had to repeat instructions
or each time they were not following directions. We hope that once students
see how often this is occuring, they will strive to reduce the number of
tallies per day.
|
No newsletter/homework
this week!
I will not be sending home a newsletter or
a homework sheet this week. We will send home 100 book folders and I encourage
all of you to take some time and enjoy reading with your child over the
holiday. Our students are really working hard and we are seeing some amazing
results!

Treasure Box
Several parents sent in items last week
for treasure box and I really appreciate the donations. Treasure box is a
wonderful way to reward students for their behavior and it truly motivates
them! It is a tremendous expense on a weekly basis and I thank you so much for
your donations!!
|
Checking out early
If your child needs to leave school early
please send us a note so we may have their things ready for them.
We must have a note if their is a change
in transportation for your child. We cannot take the word of a 5 or 6 year old
child. Please place a note in your child's fish folder for us.

AR books
For the second week in a row, I had the
pleasure of helping 10 students take AR tests. I was very pleased to see their
comprehension and clear understanding of the stories they had read! Way to go!
