“Barnett’s Behavior Store”
During this last nine weeks of school the students will earn money for good behavior.  One day each week they will get to shop at our class store.  There are all kinds of things in the store, from stickers to candy to toys.  Right now they are earning pennies.  Next week we will start cashing the pennies in for nickels.  The more money they earn then the better their behavior has been!

Important Dates to remember:
v Tuesday, May 3, will be our Zoo field trip.
v Track and Field Day will be Wednesday, April 27.

There is a note in this folder concerning Track and Field Day.  Please read, sign, and return the note along with your child’s folder on Monday.
