Today we had a LOT of fun with all the grandparents visiting - it was sad saying goodbye to them. Also, our Team Delightful (1st & 2nd grade) performed their cheer at the Friday Scattering. They did a wonderful job and Mrs. Goertz and I are so proud of them all! It was an exciting day.
Next week there is no school on Friday, so we'll be packing a lot into the four days that we're here. Our spelling pre-test is on Monday (and will come home Monday night), our spelling test is Thursday, Sept. 19th (since there is no school on Friday), and we will have a short math test on Wednesday. If your child has been doing ok on their daily math homework, they will do fine on the math test. The test is about graph reading (they do great at that), continuing a simple repeating AB pattern, knowing "one more" and "one less" than, telling time to the hour, filling in missing numbers on a number grid, and double digit addition up to the number 9 (such as 2+2, 3+3, etc.). We'll be reviewing for the test on Monday and Tuesday.
Monday we start a bathroom reward system! Students always have the opportunity to use the bathroom before 8:00 am, at 10:00 recess, between lunch and noon recess, and after specials. Every Monday, each student will receive 5 bathroom tokens to use for the week. If they need to use the bathroom in addition to the "free" times I just listed, they simply turn in a coin. At the end of the week, they can turn in any unused coins for stickers, which they use to earn rewards. The kids are excited to start this!
I hope everyone has a great weekend! Be safe and God Bless!
