Today we spent our morning reading and doing our vocabulary and phonics quizzes. Our afternoon was filled with math, a spelling quiz, class payday, and our class store! The kids were excited as usual to get paid (especially knowing that the new $20 and $50 were up for grabs). Classroom store went well but students were more interested in bartering with one another than buying things from the class store this week. Some students learned the power of being a good sales person for their product though and really cleaned up! Others didn't do a whole lot to market their items and were disappointed with their returns. It is a learning process I suppose.
This afternoon the students were also awarded by our janitor for having the cleanest room in the building for the first quarter! Mr. Dempsey brought us a certificate and a bag of candies to share! Now maybe I won't get so many groans and grunts when I ask students to clean the floors! They made it their personal goals to keep our rooms the cleanest all year... Excellent goal in my opinion.
Just as a reminder, we are still collecting Boxtops for Education, Campbells Soup Labels, toilet paper rolls, paper towel rolls, wrapping paper rolls, unwanted (but child appropriate) magazines and empty egg cartons. Thank you for all of those families who have donated so far!
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend full of rest so we can all be healthy on Monday! See you then!
Love love love that your classroom was the cleanest! Nice work Linds...
