5/4/2018 0 Comments May the 4th be with you.Happy Friday Families!
Homework will look a little different! I am sending home some projects to work on instead of the traditional packet. I will be giving you guys two weeks to complete them. Since it will only be the projects and that there are two weeks to complete, I do expect and know I will see quality work! I am so excited to see the end results! I will be passing them out today. Let me know if you have any questions about them! 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. May's Character trait is Caring: Being kind, friendly considerate and being willing to listen, give and share.
