butterfly catch

With three weeks left in the school year, we're in the homestretch of the year, folks! The kids and I have been discussing how we need to work together to get through the rest of this school year - being respectful of each other and adults, being responsible for ourselves and our jobs, being ready to do our job and listen to each other and adults.

Just a few things to discuss with kiddos (if you please 😉):

  • Being on the assigned websites on their Chromebook
    • There have been many warnings over the past few weeks so the consequence is currently losing their Chromebook for the rest of the school day for not being responsible.
  • Listening to whichever grown-up they are with the first time and listening to each other
    • We wrote apology letters to the lunch hostesses and Ms. Causey (P.E.) for not listening this week.
  • Toys can come to school for recess, but MUST be in the backpack unless it is recess.
  • Getting both Dreambox and RAZ kids done each week to earn Fun Friday time
    • Some kids are banking on classtime to get this work done; please encourage your kiddo to use their Asynchronous Mondays and time after school or the weekends to do this work.
    • 30 minutes of Dreambox
    • 30 minutes of RAZ kids
We are doing well with:
  • Coming to school!
  • Getting our morning jobs done
  • Getting homework done
  • Getting Seesaw work done
  • Reading quietly to ourselves during reading time
  • Helping others
  • Knowing what we are supposed to be doing
We had a fantastic Friday and next week is a new week so here's to getting through the rest of the year!
