For your information...
Student of the Week - During one week of the school year we will be celebrating your student. When it is your child's turn, I will send home a poster that you can decorate together. Your child can also bring their favorite picture book to school, and I will read it to the class.
Birthdays - Students will be honored on their birthday by the class. They will get to wear a special birthday hat and receive a small gift from me. If you wish, you may send treats to share with the class. Please make sure that the treats are store bought. Those who have birthdays in the summer will have a chance to celebrate their birthday at the end of the year.
Discipline - In first grade students are taught to be responsible for themselves, their actions, and their learning. I believe in encouraging appropriate behavior with positive reinforcement.
