Happy 2016! I hope you all had a wonderful, restful and joyful winter break. I am excited to see the Merlins again and continue our journey of learning and growing together.
Being the new year, it's time to start fresh and remember our expectations. As a team, we'll spend time remembering expectations and basically using the winter break as an opportunity to hit "reset." So, it seems fitting to do the same for expectations between school and home too.
*Our school day starts with Quiet Classroom--encourage your child to enter the classroom in the morning with the right mindset. Students are to silently enter the classroom and ready themselves for the day. Once they are ready, he or she is to read until we start Morning Circle. Please help your child find a book to read for this time, if he/she doesn't have one.
*Please check and initial agendas every night, Monday-Thursday. Even if your child doesn't finish homework for the night, you should be reviewing the planner. I will be asking kiddos to write a note as to why homework wasn't finished.
*Look for weekly reflections (they usually come home Mondays--to resume on the 11th.) This is your chance to review the previous week and discuss if your child needs to set a new goal.
*Utilize my before school study halls! From 8-835 the room is open for kids who need to get work done. All they need to do is a give a knock and they're welcome to come in to work quietly and get extra help.
*On the 21st we'll be attending Theatre in the Grove's performance of Wizard of the Oz. The cost to attend is $5. Please have your child or bring me $5 (or you can give it me) to pay for the performance
