After struggling to learn to be good listeners, we are finally getting there. We had Mrs. Bell come in and teach us a lesson about being good listeners. We practiced what we would do with our eyes, ears, voice, and body if we were really listening. Mrs. Labrum uses a timer on the computer that goes off at random times during the day. If we are showing good listening skills and doing as we should, she will pull a number out of the container and add it to the bingo board. When we get Bingo we win a reward. Mrs. Labrum owes us one because she was gone when we earned the reward.
We also have a chart that rewards individual people who are doing as they should. We each have a clothes pin with our student number on it. We can move the pins up or down the chart by doing as we should (move up), or doing something we should not do (move down). When our pin gets to the top of the chart we get a reward. If we get clear to the bottom of the chart we miss a recess and have a talk with Mrs. Labrum. Any adult in the room can tell us to move our clip. It seems to be helping us remember to do what we should.
We have had several more people pass off Mighty Math levels: Jasa moves to 2A, Tyler needs one more on 1B, Payton moved to 1C, Landon passed 1C for the first time yesterday, Abbie bot 100% on 2A, Jace passed off 1C, Rylan is now on 2A, Ricky is on 2A, Hunter got 100% on 1C for the second time, And Stetler and Samantha have both moved up to 2B! Congratulations to everyone for studying so hard.
Today we took our first math test and it was kind of hard. We really have to think in a different way with these math questions.
