Week+06+Review

Good Evening Room 5 Parents,

This has been a very busy week at Chesterbrook Academy. we had our first Penny Wars fund raiser which was fun. The children seemed really excited about putting their money into the jars. They are too young to really be concerned about winners but I think you guys were the BEST! Thank you so much for your efforts. As my way of saying thank you to the children, we will be making individual pizzas next week. They will be made with English muffins, sauce, cheese and maybe some pepperoni. If you would like to donate any of these items, just send me an email. I will let you know what day we will have the pizza once we have all of our ingredients. A big Thank you to all of the parents who bought books for the class from the book fair. We have already started reading them during story time. The topic for the week was feelings. We enjoyed playing games, singing songs and making puppets based on how we feel. The letter of the week was D. The children practiced making the D sound as well as gave a large list of D words. It has been a very productive week.

As a parent I realize the importance of reinforcing appropriate behavior. In an effort to help my friends make good choices I would like to begin to apply a positive behavior system in our classroom. This system will link home and school by allowing the teachers to reward the children daily for good behavior which in turn would give them the opportunity to receive a special award of the parents choice at home for accumulating a certain amount of daily awards. In talking with a few parents I have found that having this system in place would help parents reinforce the behaviors they are working on at home.

Suggested Awards: If your child brings home 5 daily awards they will receive trip to the library trip to the park extra story at bedtime make a special treat or craft with parent

These awards can be easy, fun, and do not have to cost any money. I will begin sending home daily reports on Monday for following directions. This will include following the class rules, listening to the teachers, and using manners. If your child does not receive a reward for the day there will be an explanation on the daily report. Please discuss it with your child so that they understand why they did not receive a reward. We will also speak to them in class. Make sure to hang them up so your child can keep track of their progress.

If you have any questions, please let me know as soon as possible. As always, thank you for your support.
