Assigned Seats

We now have assigned seats in the cafeteria. The children are having a really hard time remembering to keep their hands to themselves, and are causing problems for the cafeteria monitors. Please help your child remember that there is no touching other people in the cafeteria. Even if it is in play, sometimes things get out of hand or it is misinterpreted. If students seem to be improving with their behavior, then we may go back to sitting anywhere they want to sit. Children may still choose a guest to sit at the back tables if they have adult visitors.

Resolutions

The students have been working on New Year's Resolutions this week. Yesterday we made up our class resolutions that are related to the five Mary Castle expectations. This is what we decided as a class to work on this semester:

Our Classroom Resolutions

~ We resolve to listen when other people are talking. (Be respectful)
~ We resolve to walk in the classroom. (Be safe)
~ We resolve to remember to take our mail, folder, coat, hat, gloves, scarf, backpack, and
lunch box home every day. (Be responsible)
~ We resolve to try to solve our own problems and not tattle. (Be a peaceful problem solver)
~ We resolve to take turns. (Be caring)

Today we wrote personal resolutions. Be sure to ask your child what they want to do better at this year. All will be posted on our classroom door to remind us what we should be working towards every day.
