Classroom Management

Rules Walk at all times. One person speaks at a time. Use your inside voice. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Keep your hands and feet to yourself.

Rewards and Consequences

Students collect paper “whale done” tickets to trade in on Fridays for prizes. The more tickets you are able to gather, the more prizes you are able to buy.

Tickets can be taken away also Tickets can be taken away also! If a student is asked to give the teacher a ticket, it will be thrown away. Students can keep their tickets by following the rules, doing their homework and being kind!

I’m glad you were able to join me. Please take some time to look around the room with your child. Enjoy the rest of your evening!
