Hello!
Thanks for such a great day today. I feel like we got so much accomplished together. I am happy to hear that book clubs went well and that so many of you felt better after having time to work on your packets together. It sounds like you learned many wonderful reading strategies and note taking skills from your group leaders.
Remember that tomorrow we will be working on book projects/packets during literacy time. Make sure you have the supplies that you need to work on with you at school.
I am so proud of you all today during our conversation on respect. Thank you for understanding why we needed to have this talk. I can't emphasize it enough about the amazing role models and leaders that you are for the rest of our school. I know that you will continue to show a positive attitude, even when we are doing an activity that is not your favorite thing. AND--as students, you always have the right to question why we are doing a specific activity. If I can't provide an answer, then we shouldn't be doing it. Remember the great advice that your classmates shared, about what to do when things get tough. I also hope we can remember to stay positive on our website. It's okay to express that you dislike something but please do it in a respectful way--better yet, give me a reason why. It's not okay to say you hate everything! If you have a concern that you need to share please, PLEASE email me, write me a note or come talk to me. I am always on your side. My job is to be there to support you. I hope you ALL know that.
I think our social studies project will be a lot of fun. I am excited to see which colony you chosse to make your poster on to convince new colonists to settle there. So far the maps of the 13 colonies that you were working on today look incredible!
Homework tonight: Work on book club reading/packets/projects
See you tomorrow, friends:-)

Thanks Mady and Laura for your kind comments. I know that everyone tries their best everyday. --Mrs. E.
Well I'm glad we had the talk to... when ever we have a talk it just makes me fell happy...unless Mrs. E purposely skips me- which she does
Please remember to be respectful on our website, and remember that negative comments can be hurtful. If people continue to write negative comments, I will no longer allow permission for anyone to comment. I truly do not want that to happen. I encourage who ever is unhappy to come and see me so we can fix what is bothering you. Teachers are not always perfect, but please know I would NEVER not call on someone on purpose. You have too many important ideas to be heard. My email is jetshokin@footprintsacademy.com
Send me a note if something is bothering you.
Love, Mrs. E.
Everyone lets be nice to each other and write about all the good things that are happening a school!!!!!!
