Dear Families,

It has been a busy two weeks for the children in Room 204. One of the things we did last week was to create our classroom rules. Together we discussed important things to remember that would help us ensure that our classroom is a safe and caring place to learn. Here are the things we have promised to try to do each day:

BE KIND to others with your words and actions. 

BE A GOOD LISTENER.  We put up our hands to take turns. We look at the person sharing and think about what they are saying.

RESPECT each other. We take care of our belongings and respect each other's personal space. We keep our hands and feet to ourselves.

Work quietly and help each other. We share and take turns, help tidy up and use indoor voices.

Walk in the classroom and hallways.

As we discussed these rules, the children enjoyed listening to several books by David Shannon about a little boy named David who is not very good at remembering rules. Fortunately, just like them, David has caring adults in his life that help him make things right.

We also welcomed back our classroom pet, Stanley. The children are learning how to care for our guinea pig and Stanley is enjoying being back at school, sharing our classroom and carrots with us.

Thank you for your continued support and encouragement.
