Hello! Hello!

Hello Everyone,

Behavior Charts:
Due to some issues of keeping all students on task I will be implementing new clip charts in my room. Having the visual reminder within the room should help with these concerns more effectively than Class Dojo.

Just a quick overview:

There are five levels. The middle level is the daily starting point. Students will then be directed to move their clip up or down based on their actions in class. I will be watching for students to be on task, demonstrating the Tribes agreements, and other actions.

If a student moves their clip down more than one then I will contact parents via email. Additional emails may be sent if a student's behavior warrants it.

I have a clip chart that will be used for 3rd and 5th grade as well.

Math: In math this week, we will continue work with addition and subtraction using partial sums/differences and standard algorithm to solve. We will also add in review of previous standards to prepare for the quiz on Thursday. 

Projects:
In projects, students will be working on the Nevada maps. We will be using the Star Board to trace Nevada onto our tag board and begin work on the maps.

Looking forward to another great week,

Mrs. Zimmerman
