Good Character Trait of the Month:

I am really looking forward to this year. Please remember in 3G we have an open door policy. Another bit of information I would like to include is in class we have a Bee-havior Bingo chart. If I see rules followed or met we will draw a bingo chip. As a whole class if we get a straight line up or down we will get a special or extra event. The numbers go up to 100. We will also have a Star Student for 2 weeks. I will send a note home to explain this program in a few days. Also to help tie in our good character trait each month we have a program called True Blue Friend. The students are working toward meeting the character trait every day. Once again, if you have any questions or concerns please let me know. I have included the school phone number, my email address or just drop in!
