Good Morning Emerson Eagles, Dream, Believe, Achieve!

Question of the Day
Before I ask this question, remember that "Good! isn't good enough!  Single word responses may be okay when you are twittering, texting, or hanging out with your friends in the summer, but when you are in school, you need to actively answer with complete sentences.  Never just say "good!"  So, how are you?

Rule Reminders:
Remember that the most important rules at school, called the School Behavior Standards,  are posted in classrooms.  These guide how you behave.  There are also some safety rules, like not running in the hallways that are really important to keep everyone safe.  Classrooms have developed rules as well to help make sure that you know what is expected of you in class.  The Super 8 rules help you prevent conflicts between each other.

Skill Blitz:
This week we have worked on one of the most difficult reading comprehension skills- making inferences.  Most of the time when you are reading informational text the author tries to be very direct and tell you everything...but when you are reading a narrative, a letter, or a story, the author will want you to do some of the work to try to piece together the clues.  The more you pay attention to details the better you'll get at making inferences.  The better you get at making inferences, the more advanced you'll become in reading.

Lunch and Attendance:
For lunch, you have two choices, the Farm Fresh Salad Bar, or the hot lunch. Please take a look at the sample salad that is displayed at the front of the salad bar...doesn't it look yummy? You don' have to make an inference to know what the hot lunch is today (because I'm going to tell you directly:
Chesseburger on a bun
BBQ Beans
Fruit Juice
If you would like to have a hot lunch, please raise your hand.
Teachers, please take a count and make a note on your online attendance form. Please sign and date your attendance and send it to the office.

High Expectations:
There's no choice, achieving your personal best is required every day at Emerson!
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance!
