Three weeks already!

We are now nearing the end of week three. Most of the class have settled in, are working really well together and showing respect by using their manners, speaking kindly to each other and moving quietly around the school.

We have goal setting conferences in early March and all caregivers are invited to make an appointment to come in and set a goal with their child. The appointment slip is in the newsletter. These are student-led conferences. I am available for a brief chat, but for any lengthy discussion, you will need to meet with me at some other time. 

Some students are still without stationery, PE uniform, correct shoes and togs. It is very, very difficult to expect children to participate in a learning programme when they are constantly without the tools of their trade. If you are having difficulty providing these, please contact the school to ask for support. I am more than happy to keep PE uniforms at school and wash them myself, if it would help to make sure the uniforms are always there when needed.

We are a team - you, me and the class. When we support each other to help the students learn, they will learn about teamwork as well as other lessons.Thanks for providing such a great bunch of kids to Room 18!
