Whole notes first week of school

We had a great first week of school. We spent this week getting familiar with our classroom, new friends, schedule and routine as well as what it means to be a whole note and what is expected of us. Some of the things we discussed were whole body listening, "listening Larry". Ask your children about him, they all did a great job learning and remembering what whole body listening is! We introduced our "chip" many of which were earned already.   

We have a red chip to stop what you are doing and make a better choice, a blue one to cool down in our cool down corner, and a green smiley face with thumbs up. It says " I like what I see, you are doing the right thing ! Return this to me later for a special treat".  

At the end of our day we have a meeting to talk about it. This is when the children turn in their chips. As well as possibility of earning a Pom Pom for the entire class . This week we earned 3 Pom poms as a class and many green chips were earned. We are very proud of your children .  This week we made placemats to use during lunch and created our classroom rules. You can find them written out by the children on the orange wall. We recite our good behavior pledge every morning at meeting when we do calender and our story.  Your children had Mandarin, piano and daily music. The children quickly learned to sign in and do their morning work.  They enjoyed the playground and after school projects. Miss Dana is teaching about Dental health this month. Happy Birthday to Noah !! We had lots of fun and are off to a great start.
