WHAT WILLWE BE STUDYING? YARBROUGH'S YAK Week of November 5, 2012 A Note from the teacher…. Rules are not meant to provide a way to punish students. They are to teach students appropriate behaviors and increase instructional time. When students don’t follow the rules it affects them AND the other students in the classroom. Please remind your students of this. The main thing we are having problems with is talking while the teacher is talking. Word Work Words Students will be tested on Friday and will have to write each word correctly. These are some examples of word patterns that will be used.
