Last Friday, Coach Erin, my sister, came into the classroom and held a mini basketball clinic.  Also, she talked about good sportsmanship and having a good attitude in sports and in the classroom.   We may have some future basketball stars.  Coach Erin is from Monterey, California, and is Associate Head Women’s Basketball Coach and teacher at Monterey Peninsula College.  Coach Erin gave them each a good attitude bracelet and a sports pencil.  The class had a lot of fun!

                Last week, we have had many students go home sick.  We had three go home on Friday.  Please keep your child home if they have a fever.  They need to be fever free for 24 hours before they attend school.  Also, students need to have not thrown up for 24 hours before they attend school.    

                The class is doing a great job learning and following the school rules, policies, and expectations.  Please continue to talk to your student and encourage them to listen the first time, keep their hands to themselves, and no humming when students need to be quiet.   I’m excited and looking forward toa fun school year with the class.  J
