Thank you so much, everyone, for attending Orientation last night! I was thrilled to see such a great turn out, but not surprised since you have been so fantastic at returning forms, checking homework, etc. Below is the link for the PowerPoint presentation. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Summing up a few points from last night:
- Students are earning money similar to what they did in 2nd grade for Goods and Services day. Students earn and lose money for behavior choices in the classroom, the hallways, and at lunch. If behavior issues cannot be resolved with the classroom economy, then your student may need an individual contract to help them, through which they can earn additional money.
- Please remember to have your child record his/her nightly reading in the GATOR book/agenda. This is what I use for a reading log; book title and length of time reading must be recorded.
- Conferences are at the end of October.
- We'll be taking one out of school field trip to the Tellus Museum in May. We are having Wellstar come in and provide free in-house field trips; the lessons focus on dental health, physical health, and dealing with anger/frustration.
