Classroom Management

In the Plessroom, we practice our PPRRS.  Together as a class we decide what rules allow us to work and play together in our community.  

P: Positive: bring a positive mindset to learning and working

P: Productive: Work hard in class and try to complete jobs.

R: Respectful:  Be thoughtful to yourself and others.

R: Responsible: Be aware of how your actions impact yourself and others.

S: Safe:  Choose behaviors that keep everyone safe and secure.

I am THRILLED to introduce our new engagment system called EdQuest!  I became a founding member last year but it doesn't open until summer of 2025.  This will allow students to have their own characters, level up through hard work and achievement, do quests, and so much more!    

I like to reward the class when they have done an especially good job on a challenging project or when we have met a goal.  

Some examples of class rewards might be earning a DEAR morning, getting an extra recess, having me send home good news, earning a movie afternoon, Pajama day and more!

We practice our PPRRS which means that sometimes practice goes well and sometimes it doesn't.  When people are struggling with a behavior they complete a think sheet that allows them time to reflect and change.  In general, I do not send thinksheets home so that students can take time to think instead of feeling like I'm telling on them.
