Behavior

We are working very hard at school lately on our behavior as a class. We are quite talkative, have trouble listening and following directions. Please talk with your child about what is appropriate school behavior versus inappropriate behavior. Also, the issue of respect and kindness are ideas we struggle with as a whole group. I want my dinosaurs to get along and treat one another fairly. Thank you so much dino-parents for your continued support.

Spelling Concern

I am worried about our spelling scores from last week. They were not as good as usual. I realize we had Halloween last weekend and then Election Day on Tuesday, but let's make sure we are expecting and encouraging our students to study their new words each day. :)
