Salut!
First of all, I would like to invite you to Dewson's Welcome BBQ, taking place this Thursday from 5 - 6:30pm in the school yard. This is a great opportunity to meet families and students from the school. I will be there until 5:30 (choir rehearsal later), please come and say hello!
Secondly, a little something to talk about this week: We have just begun our first Social Studies unit of the year on Roles and Responsibilities. This is a great unit to start with since we've already been talking about roles and rules within the school. We have discussed why we have rules and responsibilities at school, and we have also talked about what our responsibilities are at home (e.g., to clean our room, set the table, pack our school bag). Each child is working on a picture of one responsibility that they have at school and at home.
Ask your child what their classroom job is at school and how that helps our class to work well.
Ask your child what our classroom (or some Dewson) rules are, and why it is important to follow them.
Discuss what each member of your family is responsible for and compare our school rules with your home rules. Are they similar?
Tell your child about rules YOU had to follow when you were growing up!
Bonus! What are some community rules that everyone should follow (e.g., What do we do with our litter?)
