Chippy's favorite meal this week is Breaded chicken drumsticks. He loves to gnaw on the bones to sharpen his little beaver teeth!
Ask your eager Beaver what special class they're looking forward to most this week. Chippy is looking forward to Wednesday the most because he's going to spend all day working on his...what kind of house does a beaver build again? Ask your student to see if they know the answer. :)
This month the character trait in focus is Integrity. Talk to your student about what integrity means and how to spot a friend who is showing integrity.
Ask your student if they had Music, Art, PE, or Media today. What is one thing they remember from their specials class?
