V.I.P. & Grandparents Day

Some of you have had questions about the All About Me poster and our V.I.P.'s, hopefully this post will answer your questions! Each week a different student will be our V.I.P. (Very Important Person)!  The first week of school I was the V.I.P. so the students could get to know me and so I could model for them exactly what they will be doing! Every week after that we will be going down the class roll in number/abc order by last name! For example Aubree Abernathy is #1 and she is our first student V.I.P. this week! The Friday before the week that your child is V.I.P. I will send home a note home with them letting you know it will be their week as V.I.P.  They will also bring home an All About Me poster to fill out over the weekend and bring back on Monday so we can hang it up in class!  Each week the V.I.P. will have special duties and privileges.  Some of their duties will include helping me with our ABC chart, calendar time, and moving our countdown to the 100th day jellybean.  If they have any free time at the end of the day they will be able to get on the iPad as one of their special privileges. Below I have posted a picture of our friend Aubree with her V.I.P. poster hanging up in class!

GRANDPARENTS DAY will be next Friday!! Today your child was sent home with two invitations for their grandparents on the KEEP side of their take home folder! I hope that all grandparents will be able to make it!  This is a very special day for the kids! They look forward to seeing and spending time with their grandparents at school and in our class on that day!  If you need another invitation or have any questions about this event please call the school or e-mail me at kpoole@ashdownschools.org !

DON'T FORGET-Book Orders due this Friday and you CAN order online too!! Have a great week!

Behavior Chart & A Birthday!

First of all everyone in our class would like to wish Paiten Miller a Very Happy Birthday today! She received her pixie stick birthday balloon, a new bookmark, a birthday certificate, & a crown! We also had fun singing her our special birthday song after recess today!! :)

Next, I want to do my best to explain our behavior chart to you! I have posted a picture of it below! Every child has a clothespin with their name on it. Every day every one starts on blue "Ready to Learn" #3. If they move their clip down once that is their warning, twice they miss some recess time or all just depending on the situation, and if they have to move it down three times I will be contacting parents, they will miss recess, & possibly visit with the principal! Now, if they get to move their clip up throughout the day that means they were making good choices, on task, & making me VERY proud! If they get to move it all the way up to 6 they get to put a jewel on their clip. When they get 10 jewels they get to get something out out of my treasure chest! I hope this helped explain the numbers they are writing down in their calendar a little better!

1st day of first grade!

We had great time today! We spent a lot of time learning rules and procedures, learning about each other, & even did some counting!

Meet the Teacher!

Thank you so much to all of you that came to Open House yesterday! I enjoyed meeting and visiting with all of you so very much! For those of you that didn't get to make it I can not wait to meet you on Monday!

Next week we will spend time getting to know each other, reviewing and practicing material that was learned in Kindergarten, and even a few simple assessments to see where the children are at and what they remember from last year!

Enjoy your last weekend of summer and don't  forget to bring your school supplies Monday if you didn't yesterday!
