Week of August 6, 2013

WELCOME TO MR. POSNER’S CLASS.

This is the first official blog of the 2013-2014 school year.

Please send nutritious and neat snacks for the students to enjoy.

This week’s class motto is: Transition is Silent and Efficient

Each week we will discuss a class motto. This is the first weekly motto. We will talk about how it is very important to move quickly and silently when we change from one subject to another. This not only makes for a cohesive classroom, but saves time as well. Every minute is important. Transition is also important in moving from specials to class, class to lunch, and all around the building. This can be practiced at home.  
I have a very strict classroom organization plan that will be put into place this week. I do not allow pencil cases, markers, crayons, rulers, or sharpeners in the desks. We have many books and notebooks and space is limited. I will teach the students the order of their desks and I will expect the desks stay this way. This organization plan truly helps students to not lose work and stay on top of assignments.

The following is important information- Please read all the way through.

Snack- I ask that you bring in healthy snacks for your child. In addition, I ask that these snacks be "dry" snacks. By this, I mean snacks that, if spilled, would not create a mess on the carpet, i.e. yogurt, fruit cups, pudding, jello, juice, etc.

Volunteers - I am so pleased to have so many parents ready and willing to volunteer this year! I want to remind everyone that all volunteers are required to have fingerprint clearance here at Archway Classical Academy. This policy is strictly monitored and even applies to those who think they might like to chaperone on one of our field trips in the spring. If you are interested and have not obtained the necessary clearance, please see the Archway website for more information, or ask at the front office.
