Please remember to send your child a snack every day. I have a few extras in case they forget but
my supplies are running low.
I reward my students every time they earn 10 yellow tornadoes for good behavior and I reward them
every time they meet their AR goal. Due to the fact that we are doing so well I am running low on
prizes. If anyone is willing to help me replenish my prize box that would be greatly appreciated. The
following are items I put in my prize box if you are looking for ideas: small wrapped candy, small
toys, erasers, pencils, & stickers.
