This past week we had THREE Tiger Leaders who were recognized on the announcements for their performance of the 7 habits in class. I will weekly nominate 2 to 3 students that I see exhibiting these awesome behaviors. The following students will receive another Key to Success for their keyring and will get to come to the Leadership Lunch with Ms. Heine at the end of each month. (I will let parents know the date so that if they would like to celebrate with this months leaders they can!)
This week, the following leaders were nominated:
Mikey: For being proactive and always having a positive paradigm. Mikey, thank you!
Joaquin: For taking inititive in helping his classmates to maintain a clean and clutter free environment. Way to go Joaquin!
Sidney: For Putting First Things First. Sidney works toward his goals in an organized manner. Rock on, Sidney!
Congratulations to these three students! This week's choice was difficult and I cannot wait to see what this coming week will hold!
Language Arts: Procedures for Reading and Writing Workshop; Spelling Patterns and Beginning Consonant word sorts, choosing appropriate books, how to write a reading response including the Beginning, Middle, and End

Reminders:
(These may differ from class to class at times, so be sure to check your teacher's web page as well.)
- Students need to make sure and dress comfortably for the heat. Recess is at 9:30, so it shouldn't be too hot, but they should be comfortable going outside. They may also bring a water bottle outside. Students should keep a water bottle with them at school. Please no juices or other colored liquid.
- Please send a change of clothes which will be kept in your child's backpack. We all know that accidents can happen, and this will allow us to handle this situation more discreetly.
- Students should wear P.E. ready shoes on their P.E. days. Check your teacher's website to see when P.E. days are.
- Students may bring a healthy snack for during the school day. Each teacher will let students know when an appropriate time is to consume it. Please remember that colored liquids are not allowed, and snacks should be portable and create as few messes as possible. Students may be working on other activities while snacking and so minimizing snack messiness will be helpful.
- Students are allowed to bring a miniature hand sanitizer (provided by their parent) and kept in their backpack to sanitize hands. This will cut down on transmission of germs and colds. Teachers usually have non-alcohol based hand sanitizer provided in the classroom.
- Please return student take-home and reading folder daily. Please sign the daily behavior calendar and reference the behavior policy. It should give you a clear picture as to how your child is performing according to grade level behavior expectation. It is important that they learn how to transport these materials and they will be needed every day.
- Please encourage your child to do their best in the upcoming reading testing. This will help us to best place them in a reading group to stretch-not-discourage them.
- Homework is listed in the column to the left of this post. We will post it weekly as well as challenge homework. We will update this information weekly.
