First day of school

What a wonderful first day of school!  I can already tell we will be having a wonderful year.

During our first day together, our classroom rules (listed below) were given.

SHOW RESPECT:  with your words and your actions

FOLLOW DIRECTIONS:  the first time they are given

OBTAIN PERMISSION:  before speaking or leaving your seat

BE HONEST:  don't cheat, steal, or lie

Students discussed in groups what these rules look like when they are being followed, and when they are not being followed.  Today we will be discussing these rules in more detail to ensure students understand each rule and the reasoning behind them.  If you, or your child, has any questions about these rules feel free to contact me.  My email is jennataylor@johnston.k12.nc.us or you can use the school website contact form.

Today students will be given a materials checklist.  Students will need their supplies (listed below) by this Friday.  If for any reason you are not able to get a supply by Friday, let me know via the checklist.  We will definitely be able to work with you to ensure your child has all the materials needed to be successful.  


I hope students enjoyed their first day as well as their second.
