Procedures and Hopes & Dreams

Good Afternoon!

Routines and Procedures

We have had a great week so far! The students are so EXCITED about LEARNING! Please remind them to adhere to the classroom and school-wide routines and procedures that we've learned and practiced this week. We will share the routines and procedures with you during our Title I meeting. Please see the newsletter for the dates and times. You can attend the meeting that is most convenient for you. 

Hopes and Dreams Assignment (2-02 only) - Due Friday, August 16th

Students will bring home two different sheets; one sheet will contain sentence stems to assist them in writing sentences about their hopes and dreams, which we completed in class; the second sheet will be on cardstock and will only contain the title "Hopes and Dreams".

Assist them in transferring the information from sheet one to sheet two. Some students did not have an opportunity to complete sheet one today, so they will bring both sheets home tomorrow.

Additionally, some students wanted to add why their hopes and dreams are important. This is OK, but it is not required. Allow them to add illustrations. Be creative!😊   


Thanks!
Mrs. Kelley
