Today during Work Work time we started Heggerty word games. We worked on rhyming, building and separating compound words, isolating beginning and ending sounds, and so on.

Class Dojo
You’ve probably noticed that on Class Dojo I can give points for positive behavior and take away points for negative behavior. I only mark negative behaviors if there are multiple reminders a day during these first few weeks. Make sure you are checking this daily so you can touch base with your child at night! Just click the “report” button under your child’s monster. I will always call or email if there are major issues at school. We are working hard on sitting with a “learner look” at school, making sure we raise our hand before we speak, and listening when the speaker is talking. This takes lots of practice! These are good items to review at home as well!

If you ever have any Class Dojo questions you can visit their parent help desk here.

Have a wonderful night!!
