Before/after specials, before/after lunch, after read aloud

Sliding down the hill could be dangerous and we may slip at fall. Throwing snow might have ice in it and could hurt someone or make them mad. We have to have different rules than you have at home.
Why is important to participate in the Morning Choice that I chose rather than sitting at my desk or joining another activity?

Why is homework important?
It reinforces what we are learning in the classroom, teaches you responsibility, prepares you for middle school

You should help keep OUR school clean and help by picking it up and throwing it away.
