Friday the 13th... not in our classroom though

We had a great day! I was so proud of all of the students today. They worked so hard. Our clipchart is up and running so please watch for your child's "day" at the bottom of their agenda. Everyone starts on Ready to Learn and can either move up or down according to their behavior.

Going up: Ready to Learn, Good Job, Great Job, Outstanding, Top of the Chart, Off the Chart (also known as Onto Mrs. Farkas)

Going Down: Ready to Learn, Slow down (time to think about their behavior), Think about it (they fill out a reflection sheet), Parent Contact (you will hear from me)

Now, we all have different types of days and can sometimes start out crabby and then turn it around, so our students can move up and down the chart all day. They will record the behavior that they landed on at the end of the day.



Other notes:

We are doing such an awesome job fundraising. Keep selling those books.

Book orders went home today. If you order online, our classroom gets  a free book and you do as well on your next order (as long the special is the same as last year). The kids only took home 2 book orders, but online, you will have more choices. Our online code is GX24P.

Remember to read and follow our blog so you can stay up to date. On our last prize word, I think only 3 kids have gotten a prize so far.

Homelinks will start coming home next week on a regular basis. The point of our homelinks is for your child to share what they are learning and show you what they know. Please do not make it stressful "homework". If they get them done, great, if not, make a note on what is tough or causing struggle and send it back.  DO NOT WORRY!!!! They are another learning tool.

Gone: I will be gone Monday and Tuesday at a coaching training. The students will have a sub. If you email me and I do not respond right away, that is why.

Conferences: If you haven't signed up, watch for a time to be emailed to you.



As always, you know how to contact me. Let me know if I can help or answer any questions.
