Welcome back to school! I hope you had an amazing Summer full of adventure. I spent lots of time with my family and driving my kids from one activity to the next! Whew! I am excited for the new school year in our new classroom. I hope everyone comes in with their best attitudes and they are ready to learn!

We have some classroom changes I wanted to share with you. Mrs. Dixon who has been working with some of our other EC students in middle school is now joining our classroom. She will be our new classroom assistant for this semester. We will also have a student teacher named Miranda Phipps coming in from ECU shadowing our class. She is a former Neuse Charter student and is currently studying to be an Exceptional Children's teacher. She will be doing her observation hours in our classroom. How exciting!!
Our Elementary Awards Ceremony will be Friday November 4th! K-2 will be from 12:20 - 1:30 and 3rd - 5th will be 2:00 - 3:00. You are more than welcome to sign your child after the ceremony!

Some need motivation finishing classwork, some with homework, and some with behavioral in and out of the classroom! We use ClassDojo and this does work to some degree but I would like to take it to a different level. I want to make it a little more meaningful and make them care a little more about behaving and completing work!! We are going to take a monthly FIELD TRIP to a restaurant as part of a life skill type lesson on money, social skills, and public behavior for our kiddos that they have to earn. They have to earn so many points/dojos in each area class work, homework, behavior in order to go. What happens if they do not earn enough points?? They will stay back in the EC department with Mrs. Ragland, and try again the next month to go! Our students are extremely excited about the new incentive and ready to begin working hard to earn Dojos!! I am sending home there reports today and they will start over on Monday with 0! To qualify for our monthly field trip they will have to earn the following points per week!! Classwork: 4 points out of 5 possible points Homework: 3 points out of 4 possible points Behavior: 5 total points Automatic Disqualifications:
We are starting this program right away! Our 1st Field Trip will be Friday September the 30th. Please encourage your child to work hard! WIth hard work comes Great Rewards! |
