October 1, 2019

Good Afternoon,
  Happy October!  I can't believe September has come and gone.  We are finishing up a few assessments this week and then we will be in full swing with our academic work and schedule.  I need to finish up a few more reading tests this week.

  Today we talked about logical consequences.  If you would like to read about them, please do so by clicking here.  Logical consequences are not punishments nor are they negative in use.  These are logical ways for your child to regain self control and/or fix a mistake.  Your child is not in trouble if they break a rule.  The are simply offered a chance to fix it on their own.  The hardest one for parents to comprehend (usually() is Take A Break (Timeout).  Timeout simply gives a child a chance to reflect, decide how they want to handle it, and then move forward when they are ready.  They completely control it.  Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would love to discuss these logical consequences in more depth.

VOLUNTEERS:
*I will be sending home a volunteer form tomorrow.  This will be for those who are able to come in and volunteer in the classroom, help with field trips, and/or type stories from home.  Please look for the yellow sheet in your child's homework bag on Wednesday.

That is all for now.  Have a wonderful week.

Peace,
Tommy
