Happy TGIF!!




What a difference a day makes!! Much much better choices being made today overall. There are still a couple of you who need to figure this out. I hope it happens for you soon.
Today we had our auction and those that got to participate had a great time. They got to take things home anywhere from stuffed animals, posters, bug cages, candy and soda treats. There were some sad faces on the sides, but hopefully this was a learning lesson and they will start working harder to earn that free money. We figured it out today that they can earn $450/week just by reading the blog, getting planner signed, doing job, and keeping a clean desk. That doesn't even include the positive behavior. Like I said at Open House, it is so easy to earn money in here. So come on Team Hankins'-let's get all of you on board the "winning team"!!!
Congratulations to Korbyn, our student of the week. Wow-what a lego builder he is!!
From the pics, you can see that we had a fun with partners in math today doing some challenging money problems. There was so much constructive talking going on as they discussed their strategies. I loved hearing it.
Good job getting those library books returned today. They are working on a fun project in Library with Mrs. Anderson. She is so awesome and is doing such a great job of weaving what we do in the classroom to their library skills. If your child can tell you what they are working on, write library in the planner for free money.
Today, we started a new math computer program along with our Success Maker Math & ReadAbout Reading (non-fiction).
I will be sending the information home on Monday for you about that so that you can access it from home and get your child on it nightly to practice those math facts for mastery.
Thank you and have a great weekend.
