We had a fabulous first week of school! We got acquainted with each other and learned new classroom procedures. It's going to be an awesome year!
Class Covenant
The class read a Bible story about God's promise or covenant to his people. Students made a promise to treat one another with love and respect with a class covenant by reading the pledge and then signing it with their painted hand prints. We also read a book about being "Bucket Fillers" verses "Bucket Dippers." Ask your child to tell you about this.
Daily Work Habits Report
To increase student awareness of appropriate classroom work habits, the children will receive a daily work habits report in addition to a behavior clip chart. Please initial and return the sheet each day. Students will receive positive behavior store money when the sheets are returned and signed on time.
Summer Celebration
Students will be rewarded for completing summer enrichment (activities, library program, camps, packets, etc.) with a popsicle party on Friday. Please return any packets that were sent home at the end of grade one. All students will receive a treat.
Websites for Homework and Classroom Work
Please add the following websites to the device(s) with which your child will complete homework or classroom work so that your child can easily access assignments. Usernames and passwords for Reading, Science, Math, and Moby Max will be taped to the inside of your child's red folder and a paper list will be sent home, too.
