The teachers will be looking for “Paws”-itive things that each student does throughout the day. Each student can earn paw prints. After a row is filled up, a student can get a free pass to use in our rooms or pick out of the teasure box.

 Kids that are misbehaving, not focused, not following directions will be redirected several times.  After several warnings, the student gets a mark on the behavior chart.  We are keeping track of behavior marks and they will be noted in the Tuesday Folder the following week.  Repeated behaviors each week will result in lowering the conduct grade.

Behavior Bingo is designed to be a whole class “Paws”-itive reward system. There are 100 squares on the board with 10 numbers in a row. Once the class, fills up an entire vertical line of numbers, the WHOLE class receives a “reward”. Here are some things that can earn numbers for the class. Walking in line quietly as a class Quiet transitions Outstanding cafeteria behavior Working well as a class

Please review the Tuesday folder each week with your child. There may be important papers in there that need to be discussed. This allows you to monitor the progress of your child’s work habits, conduct, and academics. Papers with grades 70 or below may be marked “Sign and Return” and might be stapled to the Tuesday Folder. Please sign and return these papers in the Tuesday Folder. When there is a holiday on Monday, the folders will not be sent home until Wednesday.
