First Grade Parent Information

Behavior Procedures

I will inform you daily concerning your child’s behavior. Class and individual conduct is an important part of the learning environment. I appreciate your support in maintaining an appropriate atmosphere for your child’s education. Your child will have a conduct sheet at the back of their homework folder. Please leave it in the folder and sign or initial in the square each day. A stamp means no cards were pulled. If I do pull a card, I will write down what rule the child broke. These are the consequences for breaking a rule and pulling a card:

Yellow Card- 5 minutes time-out at Recess.

Orange Card- 10 minutes time-out at Recess.

Blue Card- Quiet Lunch

Red Card-Same as above, but with a trip to the Principal’s Office At the end of the day, all cards are put back into their pocket and they start over the next day. Positive behavior will be rewarded. They will get a “Buckaroo Buck” at the end of the day. At the end of the week, if they have all 5 "Buckaroo Bucks", they will go to the Treasure Box.

Classroom Rules

1. We will follow all directions- This means your child will follow any direction given by me or any other teacher.

2. No talking during “Quiet Time”- I will let the class know when it is “Quiet Time” and also let them know when it is over.

3. We will put homework and folder in its proper place first thing in the morning.

4. We will keep our hands and feet to ourselves- no hitting, kicking, etc.

5. We will respect all teachers, classmates, and adults.

Severe Clause-Any student that is caught lying, using bad language, or fighting can be sent to the principal without getting to their last card.

Homework Folder

Please check their Homework Folder each night for assigned homework. Please sign their yellow Conduct Sheet each day and return in their folder. You will also find your child’s homework as well as any notes that are being sent home. This is where I would like you to put any notes for me. This folder is very important. It is our line of daily communication. Please leave their Homework Assignment sheet in their folder.

Weekly Envelope of Graded Work

Every Monday I will send home a yellow envelope with your child’s graded work in it. These are the papers that I have taken a grade on and recorded that grade in my grade book on Renweb. You may also check your child’s grade on Renweb at any time. It will give you their average up to that time. Please look over all of the work, go over the work with your child, and praise your child for his/her effort. There will be a line on the folder for you to sign and date each week. Please keep the papers and return the signed empty envelope to me the next day. All other papers that we do in class will come home with them daily in their "Take Home" folder that they will put in their backpack. They do not need to bring these papers back. They are classwork papers that were not graded for the purpose of recording in the Renweb grade book as an assessment.
