Our conscious discipline curriculum really focuses on providing classroom "jobs" for our students. This allows them to take accountability for their classroom and gives them reassurance that they are needed and appreciated everyday at Rickard. One of the jobs in the fourth grade is helping out in the lunchroom. Each day, two fourth graders are selected to help serve milk and silverware to our younger students. Their work is highly appreciated, since the lunchroom gets very busy during those times!
REMINDER: Tomorrow's dressup day is Stoplight Day. If you are the oldest, wear red. If you are the middle child, wear yellow. If you are the youngest, wear green. If you are the only child, wear any of those colors!
