A note from Mrs. Abrams
This coming week I will read: How Full Is Your Bucket by by Mary Reckmeyer and Tom Rath
After reading this story I decided this was definitively something we needed more of to encourage a safe and positive classroom and so our Bucket Fillers are born.
I am so excited to use this activity to honor those filling their buckets in class.
Be sure and check out our How Full is your Bucket Praise Wall outside our doorway.
Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held week of Oct 17 to Oct 27.
I will go over your child's beginning of year assessments and goals for the up coming year. Each conference will be approximately 15 minutes. If you feel you will need more than 15 minutes, please make arrangements with me. I am looking forward to having the opportunity to visit with you. A strong partnership between parents and the school is one of the most important factors in the educational success of your child. Please click on the link below to sign up for a slot.
