So far this year Room 103 has had five people who have kept their perfect attendance. They are Michael Barnes, Nicole Bishop, Beth Bynum, Thomas Hopgood, and Anita Watson. Congratulations, children! Each day that the room has perfect attendance we hang our Perfect Attendance Clown on the wall outside our door.
We have just completed our “Personality of the Day” program. Each day a different child was chosen and he/she drew a self-portrait. At the end of the day the rest of the class presented awards to the Personality. These awards were for good things the children saw the Personality do. This kind of activity helps the children see the good in others.
We would also like to thank two parents — Mrs. Mary Parker and Mrs. Mary Hopgood. Mrs. Parker has assisted us with writing stories and other enrichment activities. Mrs. Hopgood has always been ready to come and take over the class when the teacher has had to go to meetings.
