Consequences

For the month of August we have been reading about and discussing consequences for our I Care program.
What do you think consequences are? Why do you think there are consequences for every action? Think back to the story we read on Friday, Midas and the Golden Touch...can consequences be positive and negative?

I Care Program

The I Care program begins this week. The I Care program works jointly through home and school. During the month of August, the pillar word for the school is Citizenship. Citizenship is showing loyalty to the rights of others. In 3rd grade we will focus on the thought that every action has a consequence. We will learn about consequences and citizenship through reading and discussions. We will talk about the pillar word and the 3rd grade word throughout the week; however, I will devote specific time to this program each Friday.

Information has already been sent home regarding this program. You will continue to receive information monthly.

So Long Friend

We were quite sad when we learned that our new student Eva was leaving us and moving to another county after being with us for only a week. Eva was a great addition to our class and we will miss her. We wish her good luck and great things as she joins her new class.

Welcome

Welcome back to school. We are off to a great start. The students were diligent in their work the first two days of school. We reviewed procedures, met with Mrs. Hellgren and Mrs. Gilliard, got to know and make new friends as well as see old friends.
I have spoken at length with the students regarding proper behavior, work ethics, organization, and their responsibilities. Please reiterate these at home.
We will begin our normal/regular schedule Monday morning, complete with homework!
I look forward to an exciting, fun-filled year of learning.
