Dear Parents,
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! I am excited to be your child’s 4th Grade teacher! I look forward to getting to know each child in the days ahead. This is a year of great learning and growth. As parents of fourth graders, I hope you enjoy watching and helping foster that growth in your child.
Bluestreak Pride: We have incorporated the Positive Behavior Intervention System (PBIS) to create a positive atmosphere school-wide, and to streamline behavior and expectations. Each student in class will be given positive reinforcement by earning Bluestreak Pride tickets. Students earn tickets when I, or other school personnel, see a student demonstrating good/great behavior. The student will be learning about what it looks like to show Bluestreak Pride in daily lessons, as well as with modeling and practicing behaviors throughout the school, on buses, and at the playground. Each Friday, two students are selected to receive a certificate and prize out of the tickets earned throughout the week.
Together we can make this year great! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. My classroom phone number is 254-5727 ext. 2202 and my e-mail address is mpessenda@chisholm.k12.mn.us.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Pessenda
