Spring Break Superstars

I will be sending home a “Spring Break Superstars” packet with every student on April 6th. Students can complete these packets over spring break. If they return their completed packet on April 16th, they will earn $10.00 to spend at the auction! (See below for more information.)

 

Reminders

Some of the children are short of supplies they need in class.  Check to see if your child needs:

  1. wide ruled paper
  2. #2 lead pencils, erasers
  3. pencil sharpener
  4. crayons or markers
  5. glue, scissors

All classroom visitors need to stop by the office and get a visitors pass before coming to the classroom.

Money Incentive Program

After Spring Break, we are starting a classroom incentive program based on money. We have designed the money ourselves. Students will be given a weekly allowance. There will be opportunities to earn extra money and ways to lose money. For example, if a student helps without being asked they will earn money. If a student doesn’t turn in their homework it will cost them money. Students will use the money they earn to purchase items at our classroom auctions.

 

Auction Donations

If you have new or gently-used, age-appropriate toys, games, books, etc. that you would be willing to donate for our auction, I would appreciate it. Spring Break might be a great time for kids to clean out those closets! Maybe students have things they don’t play with or read any more and would like to donate them. You can send donations in anytime. Our first auction will be in  May.
