Happy Thanksgiving! Wishing to a happy holiday. Enjoy this wonderful time with friends and family. We will see you back at school on November 30. :)

It was so cold today during recess. Most children were cold because they came unprepared for the cold weather. Please remember to send hats, mittens, scarfs and winter jackets. Cold weather is upon us and the children WILL go outside EVERYDAY with or without warm winter items. 

Remember we only have school next Monday 11/23 and Tuesday 11/24. Thanksgiving Break begins 11/25. School will resume on 11/30.

Let the learning begin!

Hello! We have started using Class Dojo as our behavior management tool this quarter! So far it is working out wonderfully and the kiddos love it. There is one thing I need help with form the parents. You are able to see your child's progress and points using an app that is free and can be downloaded form either Google Pay or the App Store. There was a note send home with parent codes and student codes. Here are the steps: 1. read the note 2. sign up for Class Dojo on any device 3. return the slip signed with your student so I know that you understand what class Dojo is Pretty easy! Thanks so much!

There are two important days this week! 1. Tuesday, November 3 (TOMORROW) is Free Time Tuesday! All students are welcome to bring something to play with tomorrow during Cane Club as they reached their goal last week of getting 45 points on our scoreboard. 2. Friday, November 6 is the 1st Quarter Reward Party. There will be movies shown in the classrooms and popcorn provided. The students who get to participate in the activity have shown great progress this 1st quarter by being safe, respectful and responsible. I will be making the judgements a to who is allowed to go and who is not allowed to go based on responsibility, behavior in class, following rules, absences, etc. If your child is not allowed to attend this party, they will be doing make up work. This is a reward for those students who are respectful,  responsible and safe in the classroom and in the school as well.
