Welcome back to school!

Hello families!  It's only Tuesday but I feel as if it's Wednesday...we've been super busy these past two days!  We have gotten to know each other a little better, gone over the rules and expectations of the school and class, and have already started working on place value to the tens in math.  We've had a few rough patches, but for the most part the students are having a great time learning and getting along well with each other.  Tomorrow we'll be discussing our Bucket Filler program for the class.  This is a super program which has proven to be successful in other schools across the nation.  It helps the class become more of a family- encouraging the students to have empathy and think about what they do before they act.  The students will have a chance to thank someone for being extra nice, while feeling the benefits themselves.  It will be amazing to see the appreciation in the students!

Today your child also came home with a packet of forms to go through.  Please fill these out and return them as soon as possible.  Tomorrow, your child will also be going over our school and class rules and expectations.  They will also take home a pink sheet of paper.  Please review the rules and expectations with your child, and then sign and return the form.

You will notice that the homework will be going home every day.  I will be tracking who has returned the homework each day- and on Friday students who have returned the homework through the entire week will receive a nickel for their bank.
