Our Classroom Rules

During the first week of school, we will make a class agreement to determine what rules we will adhere to in our classroom. We aim to be safe, kind, and follow directions.

If we break a classroom rule, the consequences are:

First time: verbal warning/redirection

Second time: loss of one Dojo Point

Third time: Think Sheet completed with Ms. Cunningham (will be sent home for parent signature).

Behavior Management

  • We will be utilizing Class Dojo in our classroom. This is an online interactive behavior management tool in which students are able to earn points for exhibiting positive behaviors in the classroom. Every Friday, students will use their earned points to shop at the "Dojo Store" for a reward such as: No shoes for the day, bring a stuffed animal to school, show and tell pass, etc.!

      • In addition to email, I also use Class Dojo as a way of communicating/updating families throughout the school year. You can always message me through dojo with any questions or concerns!

Daily Folder

  • On the first day, your child will be given a Jeffrey Clark folder that they must bring to and from school each day. This folder will have a "Left at Home" side and a "Right Back to School" side. If you have any papers that need to be given to me or the office, please send them to school in your child's folder and I will check them each morning. Students will also receive homework in this folder, and it will be located in the "Right Back To School Side". It is the students responsibility to keep this folder safe in their book bag each day.

Snack

  • We will have a snack time each day. First grade has the last lunch/recess period this year (12:24-1:13), so we will have a 10 min snack break in the morning. Please pack a small and easy to eat snack each day. Also, please pack a reusable water bottle each day.

  • We are a PEANUT FREE classroom. Please make sure that you are checking the label when sending in a snack so that your child is still able to have it in the room. Thank you!
