Students brought him a paper copy of their I-Ready beginning of the year results. Please check their folders for this information.
We started our Friday Store this past Friday, where students got to spend their hard-earned points (dollars) on fun prizes! Some students chose to save their "money" while other students "shopped." If you happen to notice in Thrillshare that there was a large deduction in points, it is not due to behavior, but due to them spending money. This big deduction will only happen on Fridays.
To help keep our store stocked, we are asking for donations of small prizes. If you’d like to contribute, items can easily be found on our Amazon Wish List. Thank you so much for supporting our classroom and helping make this reward system extra special for the students! Please view our wishlist here: Mitten and Lucero's Prize Wish List
Picture day is Tuesday, September 16th. These are the pictures that are in the yearbook, so please send your child to school in clothes you would be okay with in the yearbook!
