Wednesday September 11th

Behavior Chart
You might have noticed a different behavior chart in your child's folder tonight in addition to their monthly behavior calendar.  Every child received a behavior chart today that was kept at their seat.  They earned stamps on it according to the lessons throughout the day (morning meeting, calendar, writer's workshop, etc.) ;hence earning stickers on their sticker chart.  The purpose of these charts is to get each child on track behaviorally and to inform the parents if there are problems at specific times throughout the day.  Please sign and return tomorrow.  It will be placed in their communication logs.  We will continue this for a few days and then reassess.  It went well today and the students loved earning lots of stickers!  Please review these daily behavior charts each night with your child.


Homework
Homework was sent home with your children on Tuesday.  In the future, you will receive the homework on Monday.  Please return the completed form as well as one completed letter-based project on Friday.  Some students will have an opportunity to share their homework.  The purpose of this homework is to practice letter formation, letter sounds, as well as association of letter with items.  This will reinforce what we are working on in class.


Conferences
Just a head's up that our class (and only our class) will not be having conference on November 25 and 26.  I'm presenting at a national teacher conference in Florida and will be out of town.  We will have our conferences November 18, 19, and 20.  I'm available before school, at lunch (11:00), and after school.  I'll be sending more information out as it gets closer.
