Hello Families!!
It's amazing how fast the first week of school
went by!! I have really enjoyed getting to know your
child and working with your child.
We have accomplished a lot in this first week of
school. Students learned what is expected of them right
away in the morning when they arrive into the classroom
and what is expected of them before leaving the
classroom for the day. We've also discussed the
different classroom jobs and responsibilities that
students can take part of on a monthly basis. Also, your
child has written his/her own hope and dream for fifth
grade and taped it onto the classroom "Hope and
Dream" wall. Ask your child what hope and dream
he/she wrote for this year!
To give every classmate an opportunity to reach
his/her desired hope and dream, we brainstormed and
came up with a couple of rules to follow in our
classroom (see on the left). We also discussed possible
consequences for breaking the classroom rules, including
chills in the classroom, demerits, and buddy slips. Ask
your child what each of those consequences are.
This week many students participated in safety
patrol. Being a safety patrol is a wonderful privilege that
comes with big responsibilities. Keep in mind that once
any safety receives his/her 16th demerit, he/she will no
longer be eligible to be on patrol and will lose safety
patrol related field trips, such as the Wisconsin Dells trip.
Please write me a note or contact me if you have
any questions or concerns: plor@spartan.org or (608)
269-2187 or (608) 366-3481 ext. 7406.

Have a WONDERFUL weekend!!
