A special thank you to all of the families that remembered to send in an apple for science and math this week. We are really going to learn a lot using them.
The class is still really starting to improve behavior by listening when I am teaching, not interrupting, and keeping bodies to themselves. Please talk with your child about the importance of these three things. Mr. Williams has even come into our class to talk about keeping hands, feet, and bodies to self because it was becoming a problem for the safety of the class. The next step for children who are still having difficulties with this is owing some recess time and then talking with Mr. Williams if the behavior continues.
Mrs. Dafoe, the lunch lady, would like me to remind you that you can put any amount of money on your child's breakfast/lunch/milk account. When the account gets low, she will notify me and I will stamp your child's hand with a reminder about needing more money. You can go to the office and pay Mrs. Dafoe in the morning or send your child with the money in an envelope and I will get it to her with my attendance. Be sure to label the envelope so I know what it is for.
Individual school pictures are coming up next Wednesday. A flyer is going home with children today and the money envelope will come home with Friday's homework.
Don't forget homework is due this Thursday and book orders for anyone interested. I have already gotten back several pumpkin patch forms. This is a fun trip for the kids. The $5 includes a tractor ride, pumpkin, and the hay maze/slide. We will be back in time for lunch that day.
Have a great rest of the week!
