Week Two!

Wow! It is hard to believe we have completed week two of the 2014-2015 school year. 
The children are adjusting well to routines.
The children are working each day on classroom expectations.
-staying on task to get our jobs done
-taking turns
-cleaning up in a timely manner
-showing our friends and teachers respect through listening and using kind words
- cleaning up in a timely manner
-self-regulating
-talk during talking times 
-work during work times 
I encourage socialization because it helps to create leaders. However, there is a time and place for it. This is an area we are all working on. 
The above are areas that our friend are developing each new day. I shared this information with you on the Thursday form. :)

At home you can practice these by giving two and three step instructions-have your child repeat back to you what you ask them to do.  If they complete the tasks without reminders offer praise. 

Work on one person speaks at a time.

If your child cleans up without reminders offer praise.

And above all, encourage trying your best.  In our classroom I will try and I can't yet are phrases we use. :)  
The class decided that one of our rules is Never Give Up!
They told me to write it in BIG letters!
