What a great day...

We had such a productive and enjoyable day yesterday.  The kids were very well behaved. I definitely saw some Bronco Pride! A big thank you to all of our parent volunteers.  It was great to be able to split the kids into smaller groups. 

Mrs. Mick and I are at the AEA for a meeting today.  If you have any questions, please call Ms. Bram.

Homework for tonight:

The kids performed at the Veteran's Day assembly today.  I was very pleased with their singing, but more so their behavior.  The kids were so respectful.  It made me proud.

Remember to send a lunch tomorrow for our AWESOME field trip to the Science Center.

Book orders are due Thursday.

RC quiz #5 is due Monday.

NO homework tonight!

PBIS reward day

Today our elementary earned a PBIS school wide party. Not sure what PBIS is? It stands for Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports. It is a program that teaches kids what our expectations are for each area of the building. We began... our implementation of this program last year, with full implementation this year. Our kids call this program Bronco Pride.

Our Bronco Pride expectations are BE SAFE, CARE FOR OTHERS, DO WHAT'S RIGHT, and DO YOUR BEST. When students are spotted showing their Bronco Pride, they can earn token for their class. Each quarter, students who earn their way in, will be participating in our end of the quarter acknowledgement activity. Students are taught that they can show Bronco Pride anywhere they are, EVEN at home! Ask your child what the Bronco Pride expectations are!
 
Here are some pictures of the kids celebrating in my room.
