Classroom Management

Our class is all about encouragement and positivity! We are here to learn and grow not only academically but socially and emotionally as well. Our class has a reward system that encourages kindness, respect, and staying on task.

I use a clip chart system in class to reward students for positive behavior and exhibiting leadership skills. Each student starts the day on green which signifies that he or she is ready to learn. They can move up to light green (excellent choices) and blue (superstar) as well as down to orange (pause and think) and red (teacher's choice). The students will then earn stars on their punch cards for ending their day on green (one star), blue (two stars), and purple (3 stars) daily. Once they have filled their punch cards (20 stars), they will then be able to choose a prize from the class treasure chest!

I will communicate their behavior progress with you by sending home a weekly behavior sheet on Friday noting good behavior and/or where students may need more support. There will be a place for you to sign, and students will return it to class the following Monday in their daily folders.
