Building Classroom Community

Welcome to Mountain View Elementary School-Home of the Dragons! We are so excited to begin a new school year. It is always a joy to see new faces join our Mountain View School family. Over the next several weeks we will be focusing on building our classroom community. We will begin by learning the routines/procedures of our classroom. To help us learn how to be part of a community we will have group discussions and read several books as we establish classroom rules. Beginning soon, the children will have classroom jobs that will be on a weekly
rotation that will help foster confidence and responsibility. Being part of a community means getting along with others, therefore we will be working on friendship skills such as taking turns, sharing, problem solving and how to be a kind and respectful friend.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call or email. Thank you for your support!

Scholastic Book Orders

Each month we will be sending home Scholastic Book order forms. These order forms are optional and please do not feel obligated to purchase each time. This month the first flyers will be sent home on Thursday, September 7th. If you choose to buy books please fill out the order form and you may write one check payable to Scholastic for all forms. Place order form and check in your child’s DRAGON folder by September 13th. After I place the order, books usually return within a week. Please remember I cannot accept cash, CHECKS ONLY!!
