We are off to a great start in Room 107! We have spent a lot of time learning and practicing our Class Rules and the Life Skills. We talked about how it is so important to follow the class rules so that we are all able to learn and do our very best in first grade. The Life Skills are a set of skills that can help us not just in first grade but also as we go through school and also outside of school. These 2 sets of rules have a lot of overlapping. Throughout the week we were earning tickets by doing the just right thing in school. It was very exciting to earn tickets and possibly be able to earn a prize! Please ask your child about the tickets they earned in school and how they were caught doing the just right thing. A detailed letter was sent home in your child's green folder explaining the Life Skills and this behavior system of earning tickets and prizes.
We have also been getting to know each other. We have found many similarities with our new friends in Room 107. We are beginning to form new friendships already!
We have had a chance to go to art, music and P.E. and meet our new teachers. Please remember on Wednesdays and Fridays we will be going to gym and your child will need sneakers and a water bottle.
We have been very busy this past week and I am looking forward to another great week. It can be a very LONG day for your child, especially in the heat so please be sure they are getting plenty of rest, eating a healthy breakfast, have a filling lunch and a water bottle(s). I hope your child enjoyed the first week of school! Please be sure to talk to your child about all that we have been doing in Room 107. Please contact me if you have any concerns or questions.
