Homework Tonight!!

Another Great Day!! Our day started out today by each of us coming up with a focus or vision word that we are really going to use this year. Some of them are: kindness, hard-worker, respect, believe, honesty, etc. (Great words right) and then we made a class poster plus the kids made themselves a card that we taped on their desk as a reminder for them to really focus on this word. Ask them what their word is and write it in the planner for free money tomorrow at check in. Then we read the book "The Kissing Hand" which led us to the wonderful masterpiece they created with watercolors, their hands, and of course a heart. Make sure you read the message on the back of it too as that is where the HOMEWORK part of tonight comes in. We want those pictures for our Friends & Family board. Another book we read today was called "Agate". What a terrific book-ask your child what the key message is in that book and write it in the planner for free money. We are going to continue the activity with that book tomorrow by working on our flip books that we started today. As you can see another busy day. The kids have been doing real well despite the hot hot temp. in our room. Yikes!!!!! We did have a few tickets taken away today. There was some talking in a group after I gave the class signal so unfortunately the whole group lost a ticket. They were a bit disappointed, but now they know what needs to happen when I give the signal and that I mean it. WATER BOTTLES: Your child needs to have one of these. I do not allow time up at the water faucet after recess as this takes away a lot of minutes from learning. In fact, we figured that out and it was quite a big number. Happy Birthday today to Emily and Tyler. Thank you for the yummy treats. Thank you, Tyler for being so willing to save yours for tomorrow. Thank you for getting all the paperwork back so fast. You are all so AWESOME!! A few of you have a couple to get back tomorrow-Chase, Eli, and Lisa. Have a great night and hope for cooler weather!!
