This week, we spent time reviewing classroom expectations. Although we have been working on these all year, we wrote down some classroom commitments that we will review each day to help us learn and support each other in the classroom.
Take some time to talk about these at home:
1. Listen carefully the first time.
2. Make safe choices.
3. Take care of materials.
4. Do your best.
5. Respect others' work.
6. Solve problems peacefully.
7. Be kind and helpful.
Ask your child to give you some examples of each commitment!
We also began discussing this month's character trait: Using Good Judgement. We read the Ant and the Grasshopper. Click to see the Aseop Fable. We discussed that using good judgement includes thinking before acting and thinking about the consequences for yourself or others in order to make a good choice. Take some time to talk about using good judgment at home.
