I've enjoyed meeting everyone at the Open House and I am looking forward to working with everyone this year.

Important information
If your child is buying lunch, please make sure they make their selection before coming to school.  They need to sign-up before  going to gym, which we have first thing in the morning.

Students will need a red pen for correcting mistakes, and an old sock for the dry erase boards.

Donations
During the school year students will have the opportunity to earn prizes and class popcorn parties.  
If you would like to make a donation:  bags of microwave popcorn and prizes (such as pencils, erasers, and small toys) would be greatly appreciated.

Reading
Students will be learning how to use the Scholastic Reading Counts Program.  They will be reading independently and taking quizzes to earn points.

Math
We will use joining, part-part-whole, doubles, near doubles, and patterns to find sums.

PBIS - Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports
Students will be learning about the expectations for the school year.  Staff will be modeling correct behaviors for the classroom, hallway, bathroom, library, outdoor recess, lunch, bus, special events, bus line, and indoor recess.


Safety
We will also be practicing for fire drills, bad weather drills, and lockdown drills.
