Stuck on Good Behavior

Students reached their goal and filled the poster man with tape. In return stuck Ms. G to the wall.
Next goal is to fill the man to get the opportunity to play in a giant bubble and have a movie afternoon.

Encouragement

Encourage your students to read. With practice students become more fluent readers and their language skill will improve.
Encourage your students to study spelling words or even math facts at night for even just ten minutes a night to help improve scores.

Congratulations

Congratulations to our class for earning a movie, popcorn, and extra recess for getting back the parent surveys.
Congratulations to 7 and 11, our Carnival King and Queen. Also a big thanks to the parents and students who helped us collect the pennies to vote.
