Morning Program is a daily assembly for first, second and third graders.  It happens from 8:15 - 8:35 in our cafeteria.  This year's theme is "The Jolly Postman".  Morning Program helps build a sense of community, as well as public speaking, listening skills and audience manners.  Students take turns being helpers and doing presentations.  I will let you know when our class will be "on stage".  Parents are welcome to attend and should sign in at the office.

Each child will have a chance to be "V.I.C." for a week.  This stands for "very important child" and helps foster self-esteem and a chance to share special things about themselves.  When it is your child's turn to be the V.I.C. I will send home a poster for you to do together.  This should be completed over the weekend and will be shared with the class.  I will also send home a special bag of books which can be kept for the week and returned by Friday.

When it is your child's birthday, he/she will be recognized at Morning Program.  Everyone brings in a penny for each year of their age.  At the end of the year, the pennies are donated to a charity.  Summer birthdays will be celebrated in June.
