Reading- We will begin reading the book, Fudge- a-Mania Math- Numbers up to 100 Social Studies-Rules and Laws Science-Space In other news.. We will be working hard to make our recipe for success. Part of that recipe is discipline. There are two ways that we will be able to focus on our behavior. 1.Classdojo.com-Each student is given a character. Throughout the day, I can track their behavior online and at the end of the week, you will receive a report. 2. Brownie points-focuses on the entire class having great behavior. When they get 20 points, I will give them a brownie party. Questions/Concerns? Phone:
