Our school year is off
to a good start. The children seem
excited to be here and are ready to learn. We have had a great week of school. If you need to reach me you can contact me at
dwalega@ccsd66.org.
Next week we will be doing the MAPS testing Monday
through Thursday for 30 minutes. This
gives us a way to chart your child’s progress in reading and math.
Snack
Every
day we eat a snack in the morning.
Please make sure you send a snack each day to school.
MATH
We
took a 5 minute addition and subtraction timed test. These will come home next week. We will be taking timed tests monthly. A good way to reinforce our math concepts is
to complete their homework assignments and practice the addition and
subtraction flashcards.
PBIS
This week we implemented an approach to discipline
called Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS). PBIS is a proactive systems approach to
establishing the behavioral supports and social culture needed for all students
in a school to achieve social, emotional, and academic success.
We began by establishing clear expectations for
behavior that was taught, modeled and reinforced across all settings and by all
staff.
