Well, believe it or not it has been a week already! Since having a great classroom community is so important, we have been talking a lot about our classroom rules and started talking about the 7 Habits! Here are our rules. 

You will notice these are also posted in your child's planner. I may put an x by one of the rules if your child needed a few reminders throughout the school day with one of these rules. If I have a bigger concern than that, I will call home. I know as a parent it is helpful to have this information so you can reinforce these things at home! Thank you in advance for your support! It really makes an impact in the classroom!

This is a WONDERFUL book that we started reading today! It has 9 different endings based on the choices that the students decide on. We will be talking a lot about the POWER to CHOOSE! Each child has the POWER to CHOOSE their own behavior- ( to pay attention, to speak nicely, to share, to listen to the teacher...)! We will read this book over the next few days to hear the other endings. They all got a sticker for their planner. They will use it as a reminder:  They have POWER to CHOOSE!! 
Ask your child about the book: What Should Danny Do?
