They brought home their October Reading Calendars on Thursday, so
post it somewhere where everyone can see it and record their daily reading
minutes easily all month long. Calendars will be due on Halloween,
Tuesday, October 31. You
can record any minutes they read, you read to them, etc. and we can check to see
just how much time you and your child have spent reading on a daily basis.
We will log our minutes read, goals met and receive various incentives
each month. School wide incentives will begin when we participate in
Pizza Hut's BOOK IT! reading program next month! If your child meets
their reading goal EVERY month, they will be eligible for many reading
incentives in my classroom and through Pizza Hut! Ask me for more details!!
I am using ClassDojo to encourage important skills like working hard, being a kind kid, being on task and so much more. Used by teachers in one in every two schools, ClassDojo is the most popular classroom management app in the US! ClassDojo is a simple, safe classroom management app that helps teachers encourage students in class and easily communicates with parents. Each Friday we will print our individual ClassDojo pie charts and then students will individually evaluate their week by setting goals for the next week. I trust you'll take time to go through this with your child to see how they can improve their behavior each week. I've shared some screen shots of students who are having great difficulties each week in class with parents to help communicate areas of concern and how we can help your child improve their behaviors so that we can get to work learning in a friendly, safe environment together.
Students are rewarded with PBIS tickets for being respectful, responsible and safe at any time throughout our building by any adult. Each week we turn in to the PBIS "Hawks Nest" for our bi-weekly Friday PBIS assemblies. Be sure to ask your child about their PBIS tickets received daily and if they remember how they earned them.
Each Friday we celebrate our Mid-Prairie pride by wearing our Mid-Prairie and/or MP East Elementary apparel! Show your school spirit and wear it proudly each Friday. Check out the Mid-Prairie School website for ongoing apparel sales throughout the school district all year long. Furthermore, each Wednesday we'll continue our Workout Wednesdays to promote healthier living by working out while eating healthier!

Just an FYI that the weather is changing back and forth so
be sure your child is dressed appropriately for outdoor recesses (we have three
recesses per day)! Some children don't have coats/jackets/sweatshirts and
the weather has been starting off cool but warming up to enjoy short sleeve
shirts by our afternoon recesses. We don't share any clothing. So be sure to watch, listen, read and
help your child plan for these ever changing Fall weather days.
As always, don't hesitate to contact me regarding your child and
things happening in our busy second grade classroom!
