Welcome to 5th Grade Mrs. Hansen 5C Room D - 7

Lifeskills The basis for positive behavior at R.P.E.S. is our school’s Lifeskills Program. Students work on the human qualities in the classroom and outside in the playground. The Lifeskills will be discussed and practiced daily in the classroom and outside of the classroom as well. As a school, we will be focusing on 5 lifeskills: Caring: To feel and show concern for others. Respect:  To give particular attention and high or special regard. Courage- To have the strength to do what’s right. Determination- To not give up on your goal Responsibility: To respond appropriately, to be accountable for your actions. Honors are given away to students who are seen following the lifeskills, and entered in a raffle.

Our Classroom Rules Consequences We are safe We are responsible We are respectful Consequences Name on Bad Choice Side: Warning Checkmark: Detention and consequence multi-flow map Two Checkmarks: Detention and no Fun Friday Three Checkmarks: All of the above and office referral

Rewards I strongly believe in rewarding children to encourage their best behavior. Writing their name on the good choice side (daily) Table points (daily) Fun Friday (weekly) Afternoon Party (when marble jar is filled)

Honor Roll Students that receive a 3.0 GPA or better will make Honor Roll. The GPA will be calculated at the end of the each trimester and be posted in our classroom. At the end of the year, students that have an overall GPA of 3.0 or better for the entire year will be recognized at our end of the year assembly and be given a certificate. You can check your child’s grades at anytime on Zangle. Just call the front office to get your login information if you do not already have it.
