Behavior/Classroom Expectations It is vital that children learn to take responsibility for their words and actions. We treat each other in a respectful manner in our classroom. Earn rewards for good behavior or pay consequences for poor choices. My classroom rules are strictly enforced. Please check each day for the behavior slip that goes home. Sign and return yellow slip if necessary.

Classroom Rules 1.Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself. 2.Listen when others are speaking. 3.Follow directions the first time given. 4.Complete all assignment neatly and on time. 5.Treat others the way you would like to be treated.

Classroom Behavior Plan Clothespins start on “Awesome Day” (green) each day. First warning moves the clothespin to “Verbal Warning” (blue). Second warning moves the clothespin to “Time Out” (yellow). Third warning moves the clothespin to “Loss of Afternoon Recess” (red) and a phone call home. Further warnings may warrant a referral and possible visit to the office. Students will take home a small colored square matching the behavior he/she ended up on each day. If they move their clothespin, they will complete a yellow slip that lists the rules broken and what they did wrong. Parents keep the small colored square and discuss, sign and return the yellow slip the following school day. If a slip is not returned or remains unsigned, the student will have recess detention until it is received. They student will call the parent if the slip is not received by the third day. Awesome Day (green) Verbal Warning (blue) Time Out (yellow) Loss of Afternoon Rcess (red) Start here

Volunteers Volunteers are needed for a variety of tasks such as reading with students, assessing, teacher prep and assisting centers. I would love to have a few parents who can come on a weekly basis. I will also accept any help for any amount of time from parents or relatives that have a few spare moments they would like to share.

My wish list is comprised of items I would like to have in my classroom. It is not obligatory. It is completely voluntary. The following are items that I would love to share with the students: Kleenex (with lotion-their little noses get red) Xerox paper (white) Printer ink – Black and Colored 88XL Clorox Wipes End Cap Pencil Erasers Wide ruled spiral notebooks for journaling Pencils (plain #2 pencils-the fancy ones dull the pencil sharpeners) Wish List
