Today we established our classroom rules. The kids came up with four rules. This was the least amount I have ever had from a class. Typically they come up with 25 or so and we have to condense them down. They chose the following:
Be Engaged
Be Respectful
Be Kind
Be Safe
(These should sound familiar)
I also added Be Your Best. This is the first time I have added a rule but felt that this was an important one. I want students to know that their best is expected and that their best will always be accepted. Many early learners doubt their abilities and/or compare them to there. I want each student to know that their best may look different than someone else's best.
I would like to meet with each new family (to my classroom). I can do before school (around 7:10) or make anytime after school work. These will be quick 10 minute meetings but give us a chance to touch base. Please email me with a few dates and times that will work for you. I would like to hear from you by Friday.
Notes:
*We have an assembly this Thursday.
*I would like your empty toilet and paper towel rolls. Please send them in if you can. I will collect these until further notice.
*Your child has their homework bag with their book of choice in it. Please make sure the book and bag are returned each day.
*I would like to wish Noa a Happy Birthday. Tomorrow she will turn 7.
*I usually type my blog post during a special or lunch. I try to quickly proofread but will miss something from time to time. I appreciate your understanding with this. As it is right now, I am typing and trying to get a child caught up with something at the same time.
That is all for now. I will post again on Friday.
Have a great week!
Peace,
Tommy
