January Character Word of the Month - Perseverance
Perseverance is the ability and self control that pushes you to work through challenges. Having perseverance means that when you are facing a challenge, you use your mind and your body to overcome it. Perseverance means you are able to wait and work through difficulties, whether they have to do with your mind, your body, or your emotions.
You've Been Snowballed
If you get Snowballed by someone:
- Tape a snowball to your mailbox
- Keep it going and pick someone else to snowball next! Extra snowballs are in the main office for you to use.
Let's Read TEAM Academy!
If you haven't read this book yet...do it! It's so good!
A few of us have been talking and thought it would be fun to read a book as a school. This is our January book. Feel free to join us! If you have suggestions for another book to read next month let me know!
Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt
Thank you Pizza Ranch!
January/February Reminders
Year books - Year books will be on sale for $10 this week! They are regularly $15. A list of students who have already purchased a year book is in the main office and I have one on my desk. In the past some parents have asked if they already paid for one. You can just send slips with students who haven't purchased them too.
Recess - Please try to get students out to recess as quick as you can. We want them to have as much time outside as they can get! The fresh air is so good for them! Also, please make sure you are getting outside quickly too if you are supposed to be at recess. I'll do a better job of monitoring if paras/teachers are sick and we need extra help outside.
We are also trying a new incentive for the kids - Hands Free Recess! For every day they go with NO referral forms for physical aggression at recess we will earn a hand print. When we get 10 hand prints they get ice cream sandwiches.
Scholastic Book Fair - The book fair will be in the Spanish room again. Students can view it at conferences and during their weekly Spanish time. Jan 22, 24, and 25.
Wolf Paw Fun Night - Thursday, January 31 from 5-7 PM. Students will need to have 5 or less minor or 2 or less major referrals to attend. We will have pizza and play games.
I Love to Read - We are meeting for I Love to Read month on Fridays at 7:20 in Jenni's room! Get ready to plan a fun month of reading activities! Our theme is Mario Cart! If you have any costumes of the characters let me know! I Love to Read Kickoff will be on Friday, February 1st at 2:00 in the gym!
Get Fit BINGO - There is still time to join in! Get Jenna your $25. We will do this for 5 weeks. As long as you get a BINGO each week you will get your money back! Turn in your weekly weight to Jenna on Mondays and show her your BINGO sheet!
Winter Walk to School Day - We will walk as a whole school during recess. If it is your recess duty week, please come with us. 9:40 - get on recess gear, 9:50 - everyone should have left by now, 10:20 - head back to school, 10:30 - everyone should be back. We will all do snack before we go. Please remind students to dress appropriately. We will go as long as wind chills are not dangerous.
