10 sharpened pencils
erasers

black Sharpie pen
binder paper (keep at home)
colored Crayola pencils

Behavior Management

All students have agreed to follow the Code of Conduct of Matsumoto School:

Character is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.

Students should be trustworthy
Students should be respectful
Students should be responsible.
Students should be fair.
Students should be caring.
Students should be good citizens.

We also have a classroom behavior chart and each student has a clip. This chart will make students aware of their behavior and help them self monitor. They should be ready to learn. Their clips could go up and down depending on their behavior in class.

Book Order

We order books from Scholastic's Book Club. By ordering books through them, our classroom earns points which in turn provides free books for our classroom library. Our Class Activation Code: GQRCQ. Please help support our classroom library with your orders.

I'll update the info once Scholastic's Book Club would ship the books free of charge to residences. Thanks!

Conferences
