Classroom Agreement:
We will use quiet voices.
We will raise our hands to share.
We will keep our hands and feet to ourselves.
We will use kind words.
We will follow directions the first time they are given.
We will keep our classroom safe and clean.
Hollis Growls:
Classes can earn “Husky Growls” by following school wide safety expectations.
Classes can earn 3 to 5 growls a day in the following common areas: hallways, recess, cafeteria, lunch, RA. Please note this is for common areas and not for classroom behavior.
Any staff member can reward a class with a husky growl.
Students will need to earn 3 Husky Paws over the course of the quarter in order to participate in the quarterly award (dance party, inflatables, etc.)
Daily Behavior Expectations
In my classroom, students will use the clip art chart based on behaviors displayed in the classroom. Students will clip up for positive behavior and clip down for negative behavior. Students behavior calendars will be sent home in the back of their homework folder and updated daily. All communication with parents/guardians will be done via talking points of by notes sent home in the students folders.
Clip Chart can be viewed HERE.
*Students will learn the character traits during the first couple of weeks of school*
Consequences:
Students who break a classroom rule will first receive a verbal warning. If students continue that behavior they will then receive logical consequence. For example, if a student is having trouble with interrupting, we will have a conversation about ways that we can go about fixing that issue. Conversations will take place when instructional time is not lost. For students who need a break, they will be allowed to go to our classroom “Calm Down Corner”. In this corner students will be able to take a break from instruction. There will be a sand timer in the corner so students do not miss much of the instruction. In that corner there will be strategies posted to help students relax and get ready to learn.
* For students who are consistently breaking classroom rules, I will tailor a plan specific for that student to determine what works best*
