BLACKMAN BANNER
SEPTEMBER 2017
Getting Into the Swing of Things...
We have officially completed almost three weeks of school. Your child/children have practiced the routines and expectations. They are now ready to take off and discover interesting facts in learning. Remember, now that the rules and expectations have been set, your child/children will be held accountable. We know that we have the best kids in town, but sometimes our little ones need reminders. We thank you in advance for your support in helping your child/children excel at Blackman.
I am a Visible Learner...
This year, we will continue working on strengthening our students confidence and abilities through Visible Learning Strategies. Here are the characteristics your child will exemplify at Blackman.
At Blackman Elementary, we are proud to be a Visible Learner!
We….
