Our focus with your child's behavior is on rewarding the positive choices s/he makes throughout the year. Each teacher will have a positive reward system within the classroom where your child can earn tickets, tokens, coins…etc, for good choices made during the day. These can be turned in for a variety of different rewards in the classroom. At times, your child may bring home certain rewards that you may celebrate. Please know that we are a partnership where we will be working, in class, with your child if they make an unexpected choice. There will be a school wide system to help teach respectful, responsible, and safe behaviors.
1st Grade Expectations:
Listen and follow directions quickly
Stay on task
Keep your hands and feet to yourself
Respect your classmates, your teacher, and school
The 1st grade teachers are excited to partner with you in maximizing your child's learning through enforcing these essential expectations. It is crucial that we provide a safe, structured environment for ALL students. Your child will keep a monthly behavior calendar in his/her red Take Home Folder. If your student receives 3 or more redirections regarding one of these expectations, a note will be made on the behavior calendar. The teachers will also provide practice and reflection time to support your student in working towards meeting their behavior goals.
As with anything, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher regarding any behavior concerns or questions.
We look forward to partnering with you this year!
