PBIS (Positive Behavior)
We continue to work with with our positive behavior marking system this week. If a student breaks a classroom rule the following will happen:
1st time a rule is broken they will move to yellow = “SLOW DOWN” (warning)
2nd time a rule is broken they will move to orange = “Contact Co-Pilot” (time out or time out from recess)
3rd time a rule is broken they will move to red = “Turbulence” (sent to the principal)
At any time if the student is found improving their behavior they may move their clip back .
Your student’s behavior report will come home daily on the back of their red communication folder. Please sign and return the behavior chart daily.
*** Our first reward for the month of September is extra playground time and POPSICLES! The student earns this reward by moving their clip less than 6 times. This reward will happen at the end of September.
Water Bottles
Students are welcome to bring and leave water bottles in their locker for throughout the day.

Curriculum
- Our Alpha Friend this week was Mimi Mouse and the letter Mm.
- We added our letter Mm and letter Ss poems to our poem books
- In Math we continue to count on our number grid, explore our pattern blocks and geometric shapes, and we worked with matching quantity to the numbers 1-5.
- We still are working on our classroom rules and routines.
- In “Daily 5” we continued to talk about the “3 Ways to Read a Story” and we also picked stories to go in our book boxes. We will begin Read to Self next week.
- I am still assessing all of the students on their alphabet letter identification and sounds. Soon we should be able to form reading/literacy groups.
