Philosophy

Your child deserves the most positive educational climate possible for his/her learning. Together we will make a difference in this process. To encourage students to follow our class rules, I will support appropriate behavior with praise, small rewards, stickers on a chart, and coupons for special reinforcements. At the end of the behavior chart (25 days), your child will be invited to eat lunch in my room and have an extra recess if he/she has earned 23 green days.

Procedure

Your child will be able to monitor behavior. If a student chooses to break a rule, the following steps will be taken:

1^st offense-verbal reminder-yellow day

2^nd offense-warning recorded on behavior chart-red day

3^rd offense-teacher conference and Time to Ponder sheet completed

4^th offense-phone call or note home

At the end of each day, I will record the level on a behavior chart. If red days become a pattern, we will need a conference to set up a plan to help your child establish appropriate classroom behavior.

On Tuesday you will get a weekly behavior report. If your child ends the day with no reminders, he/she will earn two points. If a warning is recorded, your child earns one point. A red day receives no points. At the end of the week, I total the points and use the following scale to report weekly behavior:

10=O 9=S+ 8=S 7=S- 6=N below 5=U

Rules

A lways be a good citizen.

N ever disrupt others from learning.

T eamwork required at all times.
