Last Monday the class filled up their marble jar. After having the opportunities to list their favorite treats on the board, the class voted for ice cream so they got to have an "Ice Cream Marble Jar Party" this past Friday! The class is now working on filling the marble jar again and they are already discussing amongst themselves what treat they are going to vote for.
FIELD DAY IS THIS THURSDAY!: The archway field day is this Thursday. The K-2 students have their field day activities in the morning and will wrap up in plenty of time for half-day kinder dismissal. I am excited for Field day here at Roosevelt. Archway Trivium East space was limited so some of the activities had to be in the classrooms and out in the parking lot. Now we actually have a field for field day!!!! THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT FIELD DAY BASED ON SEVERAL YEARS OF PAST EXPERIENCES: - Water bottles get misplaced when going from station to station. Make sure your child's water bottle is CLEARLY LABLED with your scholar's name AND section (example; "Mary Jones KC Room 143" - Please be sure to read the weekly school newsletter that came out on Friday for information regarding the athletic attire. - Shoes must be tennis shoes - no flip-flops or sandals. - Put lots of sun screen on your scholar BEFORE they come to school. - For full day students - send a change of clothes for just in case because sometimes the kids get very sweaty. READING VOLUNTEERS: We always love having volunteers to read one-on-one with students in the classroom from approximately 7:50 - 8:20. Volunteers must have Raptor clearance. Siblings may not attend.

ON A PERSONAL NOTE: - So teachers have a "teacher voice." I am sure everyone is familiar and heard "the teacher voice." That is the voice that carries across a room in a way for all students to be able to hear the lesson, get control of a situation when there are inevitable crazy moments, and carries authority when words such as "Walk down the hallway please," is spoken. Well, I recently discovered that dance teachers have "the teacher voice" too! This past Wednesday there were two group classes at Arthur Murray Goodyear. I took the first class (Associate Bronze Swing) then put my street shoes on and started heading out the door. My dance teacher stopped me with a "Where are you going?" When I told him I didn't know very much Bolero, much less Full Bronze Bolero he proceeded to inform me that Bolero didn't start until Full Bronze and I am in Full Bronze and put my dance shoes back on and go take the class! My teacher spoke these words in a very positive encouraging, supportive way but he also spoke them with his "teacher voice." There was no room for argument. I turned right around, changed my shoes and was in the Full Bronze Bolero class in less than two minutes. I guess even adults are not immune to "the teacher voice." NAME THE GOOD: - Kindergarteners with ice cream dripping down their chins, sticky fingers, and big grins on their faces - Having a teacher that supportively pushes me into a class he believes I can do - Field day!! This is going to be fun week!!!
