Other news:

Homestead Holiday field trip: We will arrive around 9:25 and our tour will start at 9:30
and will go until 11:00. I can have 1 parent chaperone per 6 kids. Any extra parent
chaperones past the amount we get free have to pay the $4 admission fee. I am in
need of 4 chaperones for this field trip. If you are interested, please let me know via
email.
Golden Sneaker! Our class won the golden sneaker award for gym!!! This is awarded
for outstanding behavior, so thank you for taking the time to talk with your kids about
how first graders act...I have noticed a difference. Just a reminder on the things we
are working on:
Looking like a learning (eyes on the speaker, listening ears, calm hands and
feet, sitting up)
Raising hand, waiting to be called on before sharing out
Transitioning quickly and quietly
Cleaning up after yourself (hallway, bathroom, table space, pods, etc.)
Follow directions the first time
