Classroom Store:

Our Classroom management system will be our classroom store.  Each student will have their own wallet where they can store their kinder dollars. Students will  earn these dollars based off of their behavior such as following directions quickly, staying on task, and being quiet in the hallway . Each Friday the students will be able to use their kinder dollars that they earned through out the week to buy something from our class store.  Items in the store will vary on kinder dollars. Each week will start new and your student will have the chance to earn more dollars!

Parents will be contacted for inappropriate behaviors and good behaviors.
