Happy Monday! Can you believe we are in the last week of August? Here are some items of importance for this week and the following:
Weekly Newsletter was sent home on Friday, August 23, 2013. If you did not receive a copy, feel free to click the link and print or send a note notifying me. It is important to post these visible to you and your child to help with reminders of upcoming events and/or due dates.
Spelling List #2 was put in binders on Thursday, August 22, 2013. Again, feel free to print off the list or notify me if you did not receive a copy.
Behavior Charts will be sent home starting this Friday, August 31, 2013. We did a "trial run" of our new behavior clip chart last week. It worked beautifully! The boys and girls are working so hard trying to reach the top! After the student reaches the top (Outstanding!) 5 times, they will go onto the Clip Chart Hall of Fame and receive a new clip. I have placed in each students folder a copy of what you should see this Friday, August 31.
HOMEWORK: I understand the confusion with the changing of homework assignments and appreciate your flexibility. This week we are going to try a different method of recording our homework assignments. Instead of sending home and entire week's plan, I am going to have the students put a teacher made sticker on the day of the same style sheet with the homework just for that particular day. I also will offer the option of you receiving an anonymous text message/email from the Remind101 program. If you would like to receive the homework assignments daily via this method, as well, please check your child's DOG binder for the sign-up instructions on Tuesday or CLICK HERE. (My printer went down at the end of the day) This method does NOT give out your cell phone number or e-mail. It is a random number and e-mail.
Finally, here are some additional dates added to this week's and next week's calendars:
