WILD ABOUT CHARACTER Be Respectful!
Each day, the students have the opportunity to
earn Wild About Character rewards if they have
acted in a way that demonstrates the character
action of the month. Their name will be
announced over the intercom by Mrs. Luehmann.
Please take a few moments to discuss the
character trait of the month with your child and
encourage them to act in good character at school
and at home!

We wrote a class book about what we will be when
we are big. Ill start sending it home next
week. When your child brings home a class book
please read it and write a comment in the back
that I can share with the class the next day.
I am very proud of the great behavior the class
has shown. Last week we had an ice- cream and
brownie party when they earned 10 brownie
points.
