1. Welcome to Third Grade Room 10 Ms. Hoffmann 2015-2016

2. About Me  Hello, my name is Brooke Hoffmann and I am so excited to be teaching third grade this year. I completed my bachelor’s degree from CSU San Bernardino and my multiple subject credential from Azusa Pacific University. I have 6 years of teaching experience that range from substitute, long-term substitute, and full time teacher. I have taught a full year in fourth grade and took over for a fifth grade teacher for ½ of a year.

5. PE  The students are going to get 60 minutes of PE each week. As it is so hot right now, I am not having PE in the afternoon just yet. Inclimate weather will effect our schedule (excessive heat or rain).

6. Classroom Rules  1. Listen when your teacher is talking  2. Follow directions quickly (the first time)  3. Respect others, respect yourself, respect our school.  4. Raise your hand to speak or stand  5. Be safe, be kind, be honest  1. Listen when your teacher is talking  2. Follow directions quickly (the first time)  3.

7. Classroom behavior, rewards, and consequences  I am using class dojo. Each student can earn points each day for following the classroom rules. Each day I will pick a winner with the most points (small prize). I will pick a weekly and monthly winner. I try and “catch” them making good choices too!  The first time I take away a point for talking out of turn, not being safe (not following classroom rules), it is a warning. Second will be 5 minutes of recess, third they will have a paper sent home that needs to be signed by you and returned the next day.  Fighting or other severe offense will be handled by administration.  I am using class dojo.

8. Volunteers If you wish to volunteer, please let me know so I can make a schedule (if I have several). Email would be best as we may need to have fingerprints/TB test done before you can come into the classroom bhoffmann@sjacademy.org If you wish to volunteer, please let me know so I can make a schedule (if I have several).

9. Birthday Treats  Please remember if you bring birthday treats, they need to be store bought. We do have a few kiddos that are allergic to peanuts, so peanut-free treats would be best so everyone is included.
