Character Education

Earl Hanson teachers are using Character Education to teach skills which reinforce our Hawk I Rules of being respectful, responsible, and safe. Character Counts lessons are ways to practice how we want all students to behave at school. For the month of August and September, we are learning:

Responsibility

REMINDER

At Earl Hanson school starts at 8:20. Our breakfast is served from 7:50-8:15. Students not eating breakfast are to arrive after 8:10, since there is no supervision provided.

Students must be dropped off and picked up in front of our school on 9th Street. Please, remember that the circle drive is reserved for our busses and the north parking lot is reserved for our faculty. Thank you so much for your support in keeping our students safe.

Please Remember

The Rules for the School Lunch Program state that no pop will be allowed during lunch time. Thank you for your help!

Electronic Devices at School

Our students may bring cell phones to school as long as they are kept turned off and stored in their lockers during school hours.

Other electronic devices such as Game Boys, Play Stations, iPods, are not to be brought to school.

Appropriate Dress

Clothing at school must be modest and conducive to the school environment. Students are expected to take pride in their appearance and to dress appropriately for focused study.

Examples of inappropriate clothes include:

• Excessively baggy, wide-leg, or sagging pants or pants that are excessively long as to be dangerous, pants should be secured at the waistline
• Oversized jerseys without proper undergarments

News from Ms. Williams’ Class

We are off to a great start in 1^st grade! The students are really enjoying our new math curriculum. They are building and creating with shapes this unit. We are working toward becoming readers and writers by being serious about our schoolwork. We have already earned a popcorn party by showing respect and cooperation. Now, we are working on a popsicle party. Students are earning points toward the party by showing classroom cooperation. We are having a great month!

Riiiiiinnngggg! Oh no, we’re late!

I guess you know what that sound is, yes, the famous Earl Hanson bell.

Are you excited to be back to school? We all are, and “we” would be the class of 2009-2010 with Mr. Hall.

This class, and all the rest of the 5^th and 6^th grade classes, can’t wait to see what new things we will learn this year!

We also can’t wait to experience our new math program and new literature.

This year will be fun and exciting with all of our new activities!
