Hello Parents/Guardians,

This week, I’ve had the pleasure of teaching and getting to know all of your wonderful children. As we continue our journey together throughout the rest of the school year, I’ve made a couple of adjustments to our routine.

1: Laptop Use Before School

I’ve discussed and emphasized to the students that laptops will no longer be allowed before school. I would like them to view these devices as learning tools while at school and instead encourage them to socialize away from their devices in the morning. Since the students are already keeping their laptops inside during recess and lunchtime, no further amendment is required there.

2: Dojo Points

To encourage and support learning and kindness, I have created Dojo points for our class. They will earn points throughout the day for various actions and work their way towards both individual and whole class prizes. Currently, their Dojo characters are in egg form, but in the next few weeks, they will hatch, and the students are rather excited about this change and incentive.

In addition to the above adjustments, I wanted to remind families that we have a fruit break every morning for students. During this time, we take a break from learning, get some fresh air, and consume fruit. This time is exclusively reserved for consuming fruit to assist with brain fuel.

Please let me know if you have any concerns or questions. I am happy to respond to emails or talk in person before or after school.

Kind regards,

Emma
