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.
February = Tolerance
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 other books to read next month let me know!
Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt
February's book will be:
The One and Only Ivan

January/February Reminders
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 15 hand prints they get hot chocolate.
4-6 grade 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. Information will go home with 4-6 grade students who have earned the party on Tuesday this week.
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! We will start at 2:00 so get there a little early! We will do a reading fundraiser this month where students can earn pledge money to spend at a Usborne book fair on our Family Night at the end of February. All information will be shared with students at the kick off on Friday!
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.
Student Dress Code - A reminder went home to parents about our dress code in the weekly call. A lot have been wearing Fortnight shirts with guns on them. If anyone in your room is wearing a shirt like this to school we will ask them to change.
