We are all set with our Zoo Trip Chaperones.  Helpers were chosen first if they have not been able to help out at a party with the class.
 
We are a Peanut Aware classroom this year so please consider peanut / nut alternatives for individual student lunches and snacks. 
 
Classroom Behavior
We continue to work on less talking and more focus on work.  Basic classroom expectations need improvement.  Writing down homework and bringing it back and forth to school are a must.
 
There is too much talking and goofing around.  Many warnings have been given out.  We can do so much better.  Reflections / Referral will be the next step.
