Collaboration!

The theme this week is collaboration! The class has been working together fantastically! This amazing group of students have formed together as one strong learning community. In writing we have been working side by side, sorting details and forming paragraphs with strong verbs and descriptive attributes. 

We also were able to celebrate being safe, respectful, and responsible at the Gator Buck Store. Students receive Gator Bucks for being safe, respectful, and responsible and then on College & Career Day each month they get the opportunity to go shopping at the Gator Store. The class also can receive "Class Gators" for great behavior and after receiving ten we have some sort of celebration. Today we celebrated 10 Class Gators with a computer game party. Celebrating success sure is fun!

This year at Aiken we will also be having a monthly celebration for students who have not received any referrals that month. This will take place on College & Carrer Day. Students whom receive one or more referrals will attend a class during this time to help them work on becoming a Greater Gator. Keep encouraging your students to be safe, respectful, and responsible! The fourth grade is also working on a Great Behavior Goal of not receiving more than 99 referrals as a group. I know if they work as a team they can do it! 

A few things to remember:

Next week are conferences! I look forward to seeing you!

Cookie dough orders need to be turned in October 1st.

I am looking for speakers to come talk to our class on the next College & Career Day.

This weeks secret word is collaboration! 

A successful trip to the Gator Store!
