Classroom Needs

1. CD-R and CD-RWs for the end of the year. I want to make a CD with all the photos we have taken in our class throughout the year and give a copy to each student.

2. I was thinking of having the kids grow a plant. If you have any ideas of plants that are easy to grow and transplant let me know. It would be a fun learning experience for this time of year.

These are some things that the students will benefit from. Don't feel obligated to bring anything in. These things are what students have been asking for, but I don't have any and the school supplies have run out or have never had it. Thanks for any donations. You're all very thoughtful.

In our class we refer to ourselves as a team. Each person in our class is our teamate. I'm sharing this with you so there isn't any confusion when reading different things on the website.

It's important for all of our teamates to be here everyday and on time so the team can accomplish their individual tasks. Each day everone has a job that helps our team work properly throughout our day. With our busy schedule it's crucial that everyone does their job.

Responsibility, respect, cooperation, kindness, fairness, citizenship, thankfulness, trustwortherness, and caring are all things we are trying to get better at. Our team has a motto that helps everyone remember these character traits. It is: "Good, better, best, never let it rest until your good is better, and your better is BEST!"
