Class Behavior

Classroom Expectations:

1. Follow all verbal and written rules.

2. Respect others by working quietly and keeping hands and feet to self.

3. Respect school and student property.

4. Be a friendly learner - Treat others as you would like to be treated.

The five rules above will be discussed/ modeled daily over the next few months to ensure each child understands the importance of why rules and expectations are needed. Students will receive positive praise when following the rules but will be corrected if they are not. Rewards and consequences will be given when appropriate.  I am very firm concerning my classroom rules and expectations, but at the same time very fair and friendly with each child. I believe well established expectations leads to an atmosphere of respect, friendship and the love for learning. Learning can be fun and exciting when rules are being followed.

In order to teach the students about money this year, I will be handing out paper pennies.  Students can earn paper pennies for making good choices, following directions, being kind, having their agenda signed, etc.  As the year goes on, if the students earn 10 pennies they can exchange them for a dime at our class bank. Throughout the year, we will have Class Store where students can use their pennies and dimes to shop for prizes. Students can also lose pennies as needed for poor choices, not following directions, being unkind, talking out of turn, etc. 

Our goal at Broadway is for each student to Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Have Integrity.  Students will each have their own punch card to keep on their desk.  Throughout the day, students may receive a punch on their card for being Respectful, being Responsible, and having Integrity.
