Our first PBIS party will be this Wednesday, October 1st. Students must stay on green at least 15 days throughout the month of September to be invited to the party. Please see the information about how the incentives have changed this year on the post marked “PBIS Incentives” on the blog. Students who have not stayed on green the minimum number of days will stay back with a teacher to discuss what they can do to improve their behavior in order to attend the next celebration.
Our first Math Test is tomorrow (Tuesday, September 30th). We went over the answers to the study guide together in class today and discussed any questions the students had. I was disappointed to see that 9 out of 24 students did not complete and/or return their study guide to school. In the future, please make sure that any study guides sent home are completed and returned so we can go over the correct answers together.
A Student Reading Log will be coming home today. Students are expected to read 15-20 minutes a night, fill out their reading logs Monday-Thursday, and have a parent initial each night their child read. Each child who reads and gets their parent initials for all 4 days, will receive a blue ticket every Friday.
