Comments: Our donations are still coming in from those that took a fish from our wish board!  Thank you so much to everyone who donated something to our classroom!  We appreciate your generosity!!! We are working on being good friends, using our words to talk instead of our actions, keeping our hands to ourselves, telling what really happened,   and talking to the person who is doing something we don’t like instead of telling the teacher.  Please help us by reinforcing these things at home!  Thank you! Please remember that the school bell rings at 7:55, and the tardy bell rings at 8:00.  It is VERY IMPORTANT that your child is on time for school.  If your child is late, they need reminders of what I have already told the class as a whole, and it is distracting to the entire class.  Thank you for being considerate of the whole class!
