End of Quarter News
Please note that 2nd Quarter grade cards will come home today (Friday, Jan. 6) in the Friday Folder. You will also find a copy of your child's latest MAP scores. We do not have parent-teacher conferences at the end of the 2nd Quarter, but if you have any questions or concerns about the grade card or MAP report, please contact your child's teacher.
Brrrrr!
Well, it looks like winter has arrived to South Lebanon! Just a reminder that if the temperature is around 30 degrees, students will go outside for recess. Please make sure your child wears appropriate clothes (no shorts), a winter coat and has a hat and gloves in the event recess is held outside. Also -- as another weather reminder -- if school is canceled or delayed due to weather, the district will do an all-call as well as send out texts (if you are signed up for this) and post on their website the details of delay or closing.
Supply Check Up
Please check the status of your child's classroom supplies. We do have extras in their extras bags, but many are running low on pencils, erasers and glue sticks. It is also a good time to make sure binders are still holding together as they can take quite a beating and by January sometimes need to be replaced.Supply Help!
This year we are using dry erase markers in both reading and math. Due to the increase if usage, many of our markers have dried up. If you are able, we would greatly appreciate the donation of low-odor dry erase markers. Thank you!
3rd Quarter Goal and Behavior System
For the 3rd Quarter, we will again focus on homework (like 1st quarter). Students will be expected to make 7 of the 9 Freaky Friday Recesses (earned when all homework is turned in complete and on time) to make this goal. 
This quarter, we will also begin a new 4th grade behavior system. Today, students received a checkbook to keep track of their 4th Grade Dollars. Each week, students will receive an allowance and will have opportunities for earning extra money for going above and beyond. Students will have to pay money from their checkbook for things like coming to class unprepared, name on the board, no name on paper, etc. At the end of the quarter, students will use their money to buy a "ticket" to a grade level party. Those students who do not have enough money in their account to purchase the ticket will not be allowed to attend the party and will have an alternate assignment. Full details on the checkbook program can be found in today's Friday Folder.
