Boulevard Bucks

Have you heard about Boulevard Bucks?
Boulevard Bucks are part of our new, school-wide positive behavior management system (more details at Curriculum Night).  Students are rewarded with Boulevard Bucks when they are "caught" making good choices by another Boulevard staff member.  Every 10 Boulevard Bucks = 1 letter towards the spelling of BOULEVARD.  Once a class earns all 9 letters, they are rewarded with a big surprise! 

Guess which class has already earned their first 10 Boulevard Bucks!!!!!
(We were the second class in the school to do so!)

Back to School 2017-2018



I am very excited about the first day of the 2017-2018 school year on Wednesday, August 23rd! 
 
 
Since the beginning of August, I have been preparing for the arrival of this year's first grade class.  I started by going on my annual school supply shopping trip.  My cart was overflowing with markers, crayons, supply boxes, pencils, erasers, folders, scissors and notebooks.  People were definitely wondering why I had so many things in my shopping cart!
 
 
I have been working in our classroom for the past few weeks organizing, decorating, and planning for the school year!  I have also found even more ways to add even more polka dots (my favorite pattern) to the classroom décor.  I am working on adding a few more polka dot things before my new students come!
 

I will be spending the rest of this week and the beginning of next week putting the finishing touches on the classroom so that it is ready for August 23rd.  I can't wait until my new first graders see their new classroom!
