We had an exciting ceremony in Room 221 yesterday morning. We tried to make it similar to when a Bruins players gets his number retired. Two FCAs (focus correction areas) were officially "retired". That means that they are now posted high upon the wall under Have-Tos. These are FCAs that will no longer be posted on our papers, but will always be expected of the children. They should be automatic by this point of third grade. The "retired" FCAs now include:
*Words posted on a chart, on the wall, on the paper, or in a (relevant) book should be spelled correctly
*Neatness and Presentation
*Capitals and Punctuation (The kids have a special symbol for this. I can't figure out how to post it, but the kids can show you.)
P.S. Special thanks to Mr. Claus for figuring out how to pull the sentence strips all the way up the wall. I made a big deal to the kids about how we were going to do this, without really figuring out how I would make it work. Mr. Claus saved the day!
