Our classroom, and our school as a whole, is all about positivity - we believe that responsible behaviors and good choices should be celebrated and encouraged! Below are some ways that children are praised for making good choices in our classroom and at Janvier.
Character Sticker - each Friday on full weeks of school a student in our homeroom will receive the character sticker to show that they displayed the current month's character trait throughout the week. They will be awarded a character sticker in the morning to wear throughout the school day in order to show off their great choices! The child will bring home a certificate to proudly remember their accomplishment. The targeted monthly character traits for this school year and the list of students who received the Character Badge for that trait are as follows:
September – Responsibility (Wyatt, Ruby, Luna)
October – Respect (Mila, Brycen, Adaline, Paige, Molly)
November – Gratitude (Shailyn, Ashton)
December – Dedication (Maverick, Sophia, Shayne)
January – Service (Stella, John, Osiel, Ethan)
February – Kindness (Sofia, Aiden, Adalicia)
March – Honesty (Amelia, Maverick, Amelia)
April – Citizenship (Kayden, Mila, Sofia)
May – Trust (Colsen, Stella, Wyatt, Molly, Ashton)
June - Teamwork (Sophia, Ruby)
Student of the Month - each month a student from our homeroom will be named 'Student of the Month' and they will receive a certificate from Mr. Kobik showing that they displayed attributes of a super second grader. These qualities include, but are not limited to: honesty, kindness, hard work ethic, positive attitude, and consistently making good choices. A child who earned the title 'Student of the Month' will have their name announced on the loud speaker and they will be personally congratulated by Mr. Kobik who will present them with a certificate as well as read to the entire class the reasons why I chose them to receive such a great title. The students in our class who have been awarded Student of the Month are...
September - Molly
October - Mila
November - Wyatt
December - Ashton
January - Amelia
February - Sofia
March - Adaline
April - Ruby
May - Osiel
i-Ready Reading Certificates - each week I pick students to be awarded an i-Ready Reading certificate for the time and effort they put into their lessons that week.
Attendance Assemblies - being at school is important as you learn the most from your teacher when you are with them; to celebrate attendance at the end of each month students with perfect attendance during that month will be awarded with a perfect attendance certificate by Mr. Kobik, at the end of each trimester there will parties (pizza, ice cream, etc.) for students with perfect attendance from that entire trimester.
