Betsy Ross and her 5 point star in one cut
Today with our 4th grade reading buddies, Betsy Ross showed us how to cut a 5 point star in just one cut. It was a little tricky and we have challenged the students to watch the clip and learn how to do it in order to show us on Monday when we try again. Click on the link below:

Behavior
We wanted to reach out to you as parents to have a conversation with your students about behavior expectations. The past few weeks the students have severely struggled with interrupting, blurting out during instructional time, and there are a large handful of students that are extremely disrespectful and distracting to the class with their behavior, and getting up out of their seats without permission. Now, please be aware, we are speaking to a large handful of students (not every student), but all students would benefit from a discussion about appropriate behavior.
We have had recent lessons on our mouths being volcanos, being interrupting chickens, and non-stop talkers and how when we behave like those, the whole class suffers. We have also implemented a Blurt Chart. This is similar to a stop light system where the students will earn a trip to the prize box weekly when their stop light colors are still intact. The students will also have the ability to earn lunch with us in the classroom every two weeks for keeping their stop lights in tact. Please ask your students about the Blurt Chart and the rewards they can earn. Ask your students to discuss the books we have been reading in class.
There have been 4-6 students that sadly have missed out on some really fun, engaging learning activities because they chose to not follow the classroom expectations. Two of these students are removed from our room for being disruptive to the rest of the class on an almost daily basis. If you could also explain to your students that behavior in the STEM Lab and with substitutes should be even better than is expected by both Mrs. Hill & Mrs. Nelson. Unfortunately, today Mrs. Jones, our STEM Lab teacher came and spoke with me after class and explained how sad the behavior was during her lesson this morning. We cannot stress enough the importance of learning by following behavior expectations.
Thank you in advance for speaking with your students and supporting your students to continue to grow into the successful students we know they are.
If you have any questions or concerns about your specific student, please don’t hesitate to contact us via email.
