Hello there. This will be super short, as I will be seeing you in just a few hours!!!
Tomorrow is the last day to turn in gift cards to local restaurants for our Saturday Live basket. What a great turnout we have had. It is not too late to have more though!! Thank you so much who have contributed to this cause! We appreciate you!
Tomorrow is the Technology/Electronics buy in day. For $400 fake dollars, kids may use their electronics throughout the day when working on their assignments (music with headphones), after they finish assignments, and for the last half hour of the day. Everyone has worked sooooo hard on being a character warrior this week and I am proud of their efforts. So....choices....POSITIVE consequence! Yay! Kids are welcome to bring any type of electronic as long as it is portable. They may bring chargers if they want to. They know that they may NOT bring them out to lunch recess. We talked heavily about how they bring all of them at their own risk, and that I or the school can NOT be responsible for lost or broken items. They have to be responsible for them. We also talked about how we will NOT rush through our work just to get to "play." If I notice this behavior, I will take the electronic for the rest of the day without a money refund. Yikes! Let's not do that!
Homework tonight is a math sheet on commas. I have noticed that some kiddos are not able to place commas in the correct spot when writing large numbers. They need to start on the end of the number and then think...one, two, three, comma please. We practiced in class, and now it is their turn to show they can do it. Please limit help on this one. Thanks! Kids also need to fill out three bucket fillers. Compliments and positive encouragement are always fun to get on Fridays.
Have a wonderful evening, and if at least one of you attended Open House tonight, write the word ATTENDED in the planner for a $50 reward. :0)
Respectfully,
Ms. Erickson
