Pawsitive Winners!
So far this school year we have worked on: respect, focus, growth mindset, tolerance, self-control. Our next skill is ACCEPTANCE! Accepting differences is a great thing to learn at an early age.
February Incentive
February's incentive will be BOARD GAME DAY!
The same criteria exists for earning a student's way into the incentive - 85% positive behavior, attendance, and 100% work completion in the time frame of February 3rd- February 18th. Incentives will be on 2/19, 2/20 or 2/21 depending on the grade level.
Help your child get to school each day, and encourage them to do their best!
If you have questions, concerns, OR you want to volunteer to play some games and lead teamwork and cooperation in board game day, let us know! We'd love your help!
Thank you!
