In Fly Time today, we did a little lesson on Superhero vs Villain behaviors. Kids were given a slip of paper with a certain behavior on it and they had to then hand it to our volunteer Superhero (a.k.a. Carl) or our Villain (a.k.a. Noah L.). They did a great job figuring out just how to be a superhero in class. All day long, I was asking if they were were acting like a Villain or a Superhero. Gotta love those all day long lessons!
Money is being taken left and right for talking out. Many of them are repeat offenders. I am going to up the fine to $50 for those kiddos soon. They know who they are. Tough habit to break, but break we must. We do have the NILE field trip coming up. If they don't have the fake $300 to buy in, they will be staying here and doing an alternative lesson. I rarely leave a kiddo behind, but it is all on THEM and THEIR choices. Many kids already have close to $500 or $600 in their wallets. Those that don't, need to buckle down and pull it together. I BELIEVE in all kiddos, and will help them curb their poor decision making by holding them accountable for their actions.
There is a PTA meeting at 8:30 AM tomorrow morning. Please consider coming. They really are interesting to just sit and listen to. You DO NOT have to sign up for anything if you come. You can just come and listen too. I went all last year while my kids had Art. I am not as lucky this year. Soooo…now you can go for me! :0)
The Ice Cream Social is Friday night from 5:30-7:30. Fun, fun, fun for the entire family!
Thank you for the quick turn around with the Fallen Rock $4. Over half of them came in today. We are starting the book tomorrow. Those that have their money here will receive their book. We read it aloud, so no worries if your kiddo doesn't have theirs yet. Just get it in when you can. Thanks. We have had a couple of parents respond to the wanting to bring the author back out to Arrowhead. They are talking about donating some of their flyer miles. If you are interested in helping too, let us know. He is so amazing with kids and so tall in person! :0)
Homework tonight is a writing piece for Fly Time. Students have done two exactly like it. They need to use the starter sentence…I can be caring at school by…. and fill in the rest of the page (and they know they have to fill up the page) by sharing how they can do just that. After they finish it, please have them read it aloud to you. Make sure it is about SCHOOL and not home or other locations. If you do this write CARE in the planner for $10 tomorrow.
Tomorrow, we have library check out. Mr. Casey is going to take the kiddos for 15 minutes in the morning while I go talk to the PTA about the event on Friday. Students MUST check out a chapter book that has a SCHOOL theme. This will be used for their first book report. More on that tomorrow. Please remind kids to bring their old books back tomorrow. Kids are allowed to check out three books.
Well, that about sums it up! Enjoy this video of the kiddos singing the Montana State Song in music class today!
