1/12/2018 0 Comments Happy New Year!!Welcome back!!
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! I sure did miss everyone. We will be starting off strong and start to get ready to be 3rd graders in 5 months! Please talk with your kiddos about the importance of hard work and staying on task. We are preparing them to go to the next level, and I will be pushing them to be their absolute best! Please remember that we will NOT have school on Monday, January 15th in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Character Counts Monthly, students will learn about a new character trait. At the end of each month, one student from each classroom, whose behavior exemplifies the Character Trait of the Month, will be awarded a certificate and invited to the Character Breakfast with Mrs. Perez! It is Plato Academy’s expectation that as we continue to emphasize positive character traits we will only continue to improve. January's character trait is Self-Motivation: Working in a careful and consistent manner without giving up. School Store School store money will be due Tuesday, January 16th with the school store taking place on Thursday, January 18th @ 8:15am. We need volunteers!

Please check out Kiria Angela's website to see what your child is learning as well as some helpful links to help you work at home. https://intzesa.weebly.com/ In Music... This week in music we have been revisiting the solfege syllables for sight singing. This will help our children learn new music much quicker and establish a sense of pitch. Recorders will be an important part of your child’s grade in music this semester, so please make sure your student brings his/hers to music class each day they have music. Recorders can still be purchased from us at a cost of $5 in cash. Also, please allow your child to practice at home as much as possible.

Everyone should also bring a snack for our Morning Snack. -Remember your placards for dismissal, we are not able to release your child without them. If you do not have it, please come in and show ID to Ms. Riley so we can release your child to you. -Please remember to bring your V.A.C.A.T.I.O.N.folders every day.
