The expectations in my classroom start with treating each other with kindness and respect.
Use kind words
Use words to express how you are feeling
Say please and thank you
Include others
Be a good listener to teachers and friends
Let a teacher know if someone is hurt or being unsafe
Have fun!
I will be using our school's TRACKS tickets for individual insentives. TRACKS stands for 'tenacity', 'responsibility', 'academic achievement', 'curiosity', 'kindness' and 'show respect'. When students are showing these traits they will earn a ticket. Once a week they will be able to cash the tickets in to go shopping in our classroom store.
As a class reward, students will vote on what they would like to work towards. When they get compliments as a class or are doing great as a class, they will get a 'chip' to put in the jar. Once the jar is full, the class will earn their reward.
Reminders
