Dear
Parents,
We’ve began a new health unit
titled “Helping Relationships.” We started this week and will continue
into the next two weeks. Your child will learn:
-
What is means to be
healthy;
-
What to do to stay healthy;
-
Rules for safety at home
and at school;
-
How to select and keep
friends who encourage healthy behaviors;
-
How to show respect for
themselves and others;
-
How to think carefully
about decisions and problems;
-
How to act in a healthy
manner that follows family and community values;
-
How to say “no” to drugs;
-
The value of asking for
help.
“The Class Store” is open for
business on Friday, February 20th. Sue Tolin has been my cashier for
about seven years. She has graciously volunteered to help with our
class store again this year. The Class Store is a bulletin board
consisting of many items such as rulers, pads of paper, posters,
stickers, pencils, pens, highlighters, bookmarks and much more. Each
item has a price tag. Students will be able to purchase items on
Fridays. They must be able to count the money within three tries. If a
student is unable to count the money, then s/he will have to return
without purchasing from the store. Your child will earn plastic money
for completing work, following directions, working quietly, helping a
friend or many other possibilities. The store is a privilege for those
who have earned it. Donations are always appreciated. Any of the many
dollar stores offer great items for us to use. |
There is
no school on Monday – Winter Break. Due to the short week there will be
no spelling words. Your child’s next spelling list will come home on
Monday, Feb 23rd.
The
office would like you to verify your contact information. The next time
you come into school, please stop by the office to verify your
information – names, address, phone numbers and etc. We would like to
keep our contact information current in the event of an emergency.
