Classroom Management
I love having a lot of fun in school and especially in our classroom. I love to celebrate wonderful behavior and hard work. I also believe in having a classroom where every student feels safe, comfortable, happy, and feels cared for. I want each and every student to succeed to his or her highest potential and I will do everything I can to make that happen. In order for this to happen, I make sure that I have a well-managed class. Our management system coincides with our school’s Warrior Way system where we encourage each student to Be respectful, Be responsible and Be positive. We will be talking about what these big words mean all year long.
Here’s how our management system works. Each day every student starts out on green. As students display positive behaviors, he or she may be asked to move “up” on the clip chart. If your child ends on Blue, I will add a sticker to the Agenda along with a blue star. Two clips “up” will earn a purple star and your student will add his or her name to our wall outside our classroom. Three clips “up” will earn a pink star and your child will receive a note home and get to choose from our classroom treasure box!
Sometimes, we don’t always have our best days. If a student does not follow expectations, a warning is given. If the behavior persists, the child will be asked to move his or her name “down” a level on the chart to yellow. This is a warning. If the behavior continues, he or she may be asked to move to orange or red where I will contact parents via note, email or phone call.
However, I always believe in giving students a chance to make better choices. The great part of this system is that if your child does move down on the chart, he or she may earn the chance to clip back up each day. This encourages self-awareness and positive reinforcement for positive choices.
Weekly Logs
Weekly logs are found on your child's blue folder on the return to school side with a current newsletter on the back. On the weekly log you will find the homework for the week as well as reminders for anything happening for the week.
