Upon arrival this morning, each student's desk was in a new spot and group in our classroom. They formed teams, making team names and selecting jobs for each person. Each group has a leader (speaker), writer, runner and reader. The entire class did a wonderful job and this will continue for the next month. In November we will move desks again and select new students for each job. Each month students will have a chance at a new position in their group. They had to work hard to compromise as a group. This was not an easy task for all groups but compromising is an important life lesson for all of us to learn. :)

Reward Day Information

Our next rewards day will be Tuesday, November 13^th.  To keep you updated at home, students who miss more than 15 blue book points over this 6 week period will not be able to participate in rewards day. Along with blue book points, students will also be rewarded on good attendance and having their homework in on time. Students are expected to maintain a 70% grade or better in each subject area. Students having trouble in any of these areas may not participate in the reward day and will instead use the time to relearn our school expectations and make-up any missing work. Referrals will also be a factor if any student has more than 2 points they will be unable to participate. 

Our first reward day was Friday and was a huge success. Please take a moment to ask your child what events they participated in. Mrs. Cantrell's room was open to students for board games and playing the Wii. We had 3 different Wii centers set up so each student would have a chance to play. We also had a big game of capture the flag going on in the multi room. We are looking forward to the next reward day and planning a fun day already!! 

Please take a moment to check out our 4th grade STUDENT OF THE MONTH!!! Congratulations to Sierra Swenor! Keep up the great work Sierra. I will be on the look out for our next SAFE, RESPECTFUL, ACHIEVER for student of the month

Just a reminder that Friday is our first reward day. We will be taking an hour out of our day to reward the students who have worked hard since school began. Keep up the good work!!

We had a great time on our field trip last week. Please check out our website as I have added a new page of field trip pictures. I still have more to post so continue to check back over the next few days. Here's a sneak peak at our class picture.

Each week a different student will be selected as our "Super Kid" student of the week. A note will go home in the chosen students Monday folder and must be sent back before Friday. The student needs to fill out all of the information about themselves and may bring in up to 5 pictures to include on the board. Their information will be posted the next week. 

Bringing in pictures is not mandatory. If pictures are not available they may draw a picture of themselves to include on the bulletin board.  The class has really enjoyed our first student of the week and we are looking forward to many more.

Take a look at our AR cart. We will be sharing this with the 3rd and 5th grade classrooms. We are lucky to have such a great book room and library!!
