Wishing you all a wonderful, blessed and safe Thanksgiving weekend!
The class did an AMAZING job fundraising for the walk-a-thon! Our class earned a whooping $1976.34!!! I am so proud of all their efforts. More importantly, I am impressed by the service sheets that I have been receiving from them. They have been creative in serving with joyful hearts!
It has been a busy start to our month with Walk-a-thon, Cross Country meets, Soccer Team and so much more. I am looking forward to the next couple of weeks, when we can buckle down and do our work until the Christmas rush begins. This week we started a new rewards program called Fonseca Bucks, where the children earn play money when they do things that they are expected to do. The "money" they earn can be traded in for prizes.
The Fonseca Bucks Rewards Program
The reward dollars are given out when you do the following things, but are not
limited to (which means a teacher can give them to you at their discretion):
limited to (which means a teacher can give them to you at their discretion):
-Monday to Friday ALL homework is completed (this includes planners) = $5
-100% on tests and quizzes = $1

-Neat binders, duo-tangs, folders (work is put away properly and in order)
-Getting “caught” doing something good (tidying without being asked, helping out a friend)
-Work that is well done. It may be your best work or something that you put a lot of effort in.
