Tuesday, Sept. 14

It is good to be back from my trip.  Mrs. Faircloth is now teaching all subjects except math.  She will pick that up next week.  I hope everyone received the letter about our field trip on Friday.  Please remember to send a sack lunch but no drink.  They need tennis shoes and a jacket or sweatshirt.  This is an excellent educational field trip, and I am excited that we get the opportunity to attend again.  We have started a class-wide behavior plan.  We just seem to have a lot of chatting going on, as well as some behaviors that are very distracting.  The students have 6 smiles every day.  They can lose a smile for various things which we discussed.  At the end of the week (in the beginning) they need to have 25 out of 30 smiles left to earn a reward.  This week is a practice week.  We are hoping to discontinue the plan for the majority of the class by the time of conferences.  I will send home their slips on the following Monday so you can see how your child did the previous week.  If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
