Our Rules

The large print rules are the four general classroom rules. The smaller print rules are the ones the students brainstormed to help us understand the general rules.

1. Be kind.

Give compliments.

Talk nicely.

Play with lots of people, not just the same ones over and over.

Say “I’m sorry.” when needed.

Don’t cough on your friends.

2. Be safe.

No pushing or hurting others.

No kicking or punching.

No shoving.

Let the teacher know where you’re going.

3. Be responsible.

Follow the rules.

Take care of yourself.

Take care of the classroom.

Listen to the person speaking.

4. Be respectful.

Listen to people when they talk.

Be polite to people.

Use your manners.

Back to School Conferences

Today was a great day of back-to-school conferences. 100% of my students and parents came today! Yeah! It was nice to meet everyone and put faces to the names on my class list. Tomorrow the classroom will be filled with students ready to learn. :)

Welcome Back!

Welcome back to school letters have recently been sent out. The letter has a list of items that would be helpful for you to buy before the first day of school. Here's a reminder of what you need.

* 3-4 single subject notebooks

* 3-4 pocket folders

* lots of pencils

* an inexpensive, basic calculator

* crayons, markers, colored pencils

* scissors

* glue or gluesticks

* 2 large boxes of kleenex

* a small pencil sharpener with a lid

* a ruler - not a "bendy" one

* a cheery smile and positive attitude!

I look forward to meeting all of you at Back to School conferences on the first day of school. You will be receiving your scheduled time from the office.
