WE have been practicing school and classroom procedures and expectations. WE are getting better and faster (most of the time), which is very important. Following our school and classroom rules and procedures keeps your student safe, happy, and our classroom running smoothly. Please talk with your student about what our school and classroom rules are. Ask how they are doing in the process of being respectful to self, others and the school? Are they listening to the teacher when it is learning time? Are they walking quietly down the hall keeping their eyes forward and hands to themselves? Can they tell you what the correct behaviors in the lunchroom and bathroom are? We will continue working on all these throughout the year, because practice makes perfect.
HOGLE ZOO- TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8TH!
Yay!!! I can’t wait see what fun adventures we will have while visiting Hogle Zoo on our field trip. Save the date…Tuesday September 8th. Buses will be pulling out promptly at 8:45! THANKS SO MUCH, I had 10 parent volunteers. If you want to bring siblings plan on driving your own car. The donation fee for each student is $3-payable to the office. JUST IN CASE…Please be prepared to pay for yourself and any extra children you bring. Please bring a disposable sack lunch with your student’s name on it. Chaperones, please bring a backpack or bag to put your student group’s lunches in.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! To all of our volunteer chaperone’s for our field trip. Below is a list of what groups you are in charge of. I will pass out a copy for each parent chaperone the morning of the field trip.

We will be working on the “How To’s” of computer use and programs this coming week. I know your student will be so excited to share what he/she will be learning/doing. PLEASE explain to your students the extreme importance of computer care, not picking at the keys, holding the computer with both hands, not coloring or poking the computer. If your child damages their computer during their time with it, you will be responsible for the repair and they may no longer have the opportunity to use them. If your student has not brought in their over the ear headphones- they will need to have them no later than Tuesday as our STEM Lab and Laptop use begins in the classroom.
