Hurray for the first day!

What a great day! Parents you should be so proud of your kids! They did an excellent job today as first day fifth graders. Not only were they kind and helpful to each other, but also to the younger students in the school! That is a great way to represent the fifth grade, keep it up! Since most of them said when viewing the blog today that they liked the pictures most I will post a picture below showing that all 18 students earned a clip on the respectful and responsible posters.  Our school rules are: be Respectful, Responsible, and Safe. If they are caught by any staff member they earn a gold ticket and their clip goes on the rule they are exemplifying. They also get to put the ticket in a receptacle. The receptacles from all staff rooms will be emptied into a large bin and each quarter tickets will be drawn at the school assembly. The tickets will also be saved for a giant end of the year drawing! Since all the kids in 5T earned a golden ticket today they are all in the running! Every day, all day is another chance for them to earn multiple tickets. So they could up their chances of winning a prize! Also, in our class the kids get to put a marble in the marble jar for each ticket received and when it is full they get to have a party of their choice.

There is a lot of wonderful things going on in 5T! I hope all the students had a great day, I certainly did! See you tomorrow :)
