First Week / Primera Semana

Welcome!
It was wonderful meeting our special 19 first graders this week.  We have enjoyed learning about each and everyone one of them!  We were able to meet our families on Back to School Night on Wednesday.  We hope it was an informative night for all!  We look forward to seeing your children develop into fluent readers, writers, and mathematicians as the year progresses.  

"I'm a Bucket Filler!" bracelet:
This week we worked on creating a positive classroom and school environment.  We taught the students about the "invisible bucket" we all carry around with us.  When we do and say positive things to others we fill our own bucket as well as those around us.  We learned that we ALL make mistakes, but we can fix the hurt we have caused by using the "4-square apology." If your child had a bracelet on their wrist this week that means that we saw them being a bucket filler!  If you are interested in the "bucket filler" idea please visit http://www.bucketfillers101.com/faqs.php.  

Tiger Binders:
We began taking our Tiger Binders home and bringing them back to school.  Please remember it must brought back to school daily or your child will not be able to fill in their behavior chart and may miss out on important reminders.  

Where's Mrs. Davis?
Mrs. Davis is at home waiting for their new arrival to join them.  She was not feeling well on Friday and so we think (as I type this) this baby will be coming SOON!  But, even while at home Mrs. Davis was thinking of your children and planning for them.  

Headphones:
Some students have brought in their headphones, please continue to send them in.  We will be using the computers this week and it would be ideal if every student had their headphones.  

Questions?
Email is the best way to get a hold of us.  While Mrs. Davis is on maternity leave please email Mrs. Adelman at debi.adelman@smusd.org.

Until next week,

Mrs. Adelman and Mrs. Davis
