It was so great to see all of the students this week!  I missed them over the break.  Just as I had hoped, most of the students came back from the break ready to work, learn, and focus.  We had some really beautiful work cycles this week.

Our class began using weekly expectation sheets this week.  Every Monday the students receive a paper that shows what their work expectations are for the week.  They use that paper to make a daily work plan in their planner.  As they accomplish those expectations, they get a signature from a teacher.  On Friday, the students will write a reflection on their week.  This paper should come home every Friday, get signed by a parent or guardian, and be returned to me on Monday.  Your child should have brought home an expectation sheet yesterday.  Please ask them about it.

I sent everyone an invitation to join our class on Remind.  I would really like everyone to join!  It already came in handy a couple of times this week as a quick way to communicate with parents.  If you did not receive an invitation or need help signing up, please let me know.

The school’s annual chili cook off is coming up on January 30th!  Mark your calendars and look for more information soon.

Have a wonderful weekend!
