This week will be busy with our field trip to Safetyville on Wednesday. We are continuing to improve our behavior daily and our students are trying to receive compliments from other adults to ensure we can have movie time regularly. If there are any questions you have about anything, or any concerns, I hope you will please contact me and we will be able to sort out anything that might arise. We are working on many things in class, Check out the Newsletter for more details. |
News from the first grade classroom after our first few days of class. Things are improving everyday in our room as we all get used to each other with new rules and routines. There has been some confusion about the Xtra math practice at home. This should be done for at least 10 minutes, 3 days a week. I hear that the students are getting frustrated with the speed that is needed for them to be successful. I am sure that with practice, the students will improve their speed, and we all know that we get better at anything with more practice.
I have heard another confusion might be Class Dojo. There is a video on the Class Dojo website that explains its use. I use this app to keep the parents informed about positive and negative behaviors of their children. I also use the points to give out prizes to those with the highest points at the end of the quarter, which gives the students something to work towards. If there are further questions, please contact me, and I will do my best to answer them and make this transition as easy as possible. I hope to hear from anyone that has any questions or concerns, or has any encouraging stories about their children and their school experiences. I hope you have a great holiday weekend, and may God bless you all! |
