Habit of the Month for November: Habit #3 Put First Things First
Hello Shuey Familes,
Being a parent of three children, I know how busy life can get. Evenings can be hectic and finding time to do homework or even read gets challenging. Please do your best to set a routine to read together, do homework, and discuss the classroom activities from the day. Help your child keep a positive attitude toward school and his/her academic work.
25 Ways to Ask Your Child “So How was Your Day?”
#1. What was the best thing that happened at school today?
#2. Tell me something that made you laugh today.
#3. If you could choose who would you like to sit by in class?
#4. Where is the coolest place at the school?
#5. Tell me a weird word that you heard today.
#6. If I called your teacher tonight what would she tell me about you?
#7. How did you help somebody today?
#8. How did somebody help you today?
#9. Tell me one thing that you learned today.
#10. When were you the happiest today?
#11. When were you bored today?
#12. If an alien spaceship came to your class and beamed up someone who would you want them to take?
#13. Who would you like to play with at recess that you’ve never played with before?
#14. Tell me something good that happened today.
#15. What word did your teacher say most today?
#16. What do you think you should do/learn more of at school?
#17. What do you think you should do/learn less of at school?
#18. Who in your class do you think you could be nicer to?
#19. Where do you play the most at recess?
#20. Who is the funniest person in your class? Why is he/she so funny?
#21. What was your favorite part of lunch?
#22. If you got to be the teacher tomorrow what would you do?
#23. Is there anyone in your class that needs a you to be a friend?
#24. If you could switch seats with anyone in the class who would you trade with? Why?
#25. Tell me about three different times you used your pencil today at school?
Attendance, Tardies, Absences
Did you know that children can suffer academically if they miss just 10 percent of the school year? That’s just 18 days or 2 to 3 days per month. This year we are focusing and celebrating attendance with a push to get all students to school on time, every day. We know there will be days when your child will miss school, especially when he or she is sick. But missing school adds up to missed opportunities, and can cause students to fall behind academically. Attending school is a child’s first and most important job. Let’s work together as a school community to get all our students to school, on time, every day.
With the help of our Attendance Clerk, Ms. Leah Kilpatrick, students will be recognized for being in school:
- Positive Attendance/Early Bird Award: Students with zero absences and one tardy or less each month will be recognized at our Student of the Month Assemblies.
- Perfectly Punctual Award: Students having zero absences and zero tardies during the trimester will be honored and recognized at our Trimester Honors Assembly.
Drop-off and Pick-up Safety---Please Be Mindful and Safe
- Drop-off and Pick-up Safety. Please Be Mindful and Safe
- To ensure your child's safety please do not double park (or stop anywhere in the street) or ask your student to cross the parking lot or walk between cars to get to you. THIS IS NOT SAFE.
- PLEASE use the designated crosswalk in front of the school where our crossing guard is on duty. Often, we see families jaywalking, and stopping traffic on Wells Avenue, which is illegal, obstructs motion traffic, and is not safe. Please take a couple of extra minutes to use the crosswalk.
- PLEASE be courteous do not block our neighbors' driveways. Again, please take the extra time to park and walk.
