Happy Monday to All,
We hope you had a fun weekend! In the coming weeks, our classes will begin discussing our From Farm to Football lessons. This program is no longer "live", but we still have access to previous year's materials. The students will watch videos from AZ Cardinals player, Budda Baker, on the topics of pigs, chickens, cattle, and more! Most importantly, he always includes a message for the students and the message this month was, "Work Hard means you get to Play Hard."
Let us encourage our students to work hard in class and put forth their best self, so that when it is time to play or rest they can truly enjoy it. Let us continue to have conversation with our students about time management, a skill that is quite difficult at this age, but so vital. If we can do anything for our fourth graders this year it will be to help them learn time management and stay organized. It is also important that they use their class time wisely, utilizing their agenda daily, and keeping their accordion file organized. Let us partner together to help our kiddos by not doing it for them, rather helping them learn how to do this by modeling and having conversation about what is expected of them at school.
