Room 21’s Rules Follow directions immediately.
Follow CHAMPS guidelines. Always be on task. Keep hands, feet and objects to ourselves. Be an active listener. Use appropriate language. The students in Room 21 worked together to create these rules, signed them and know that they are responsible for following these rules. These are the things they decided were important to them and what they need to do to be successful 4th graders. Please support them by reminding them to always follow THEIR rules.

Room 21’s GUIDELINES THE SIX “BE’S” BE responsible!
BE kind and caring! BE respectful! BE trustworthy! BE a team player! BE a positive thinker! Guidelines and Rules are two different things so as a class, students in Room 21 worked together to create these guideline as well. Guidelines help students think about how to act, behave and “be” at any given time. Please talk with them about their understanding of the different between guidelines and rules and why they chose these.

Behavior & Consequences
We use ClassDojo to track student behavior. Each day, your child has the opportunity to earn positive & negative points based on his/her behavior. ClassDojo Messaging allows me to send quick messages straight to your cell phone! Sign up through ClassDojo! You do not need a smart phone to receive messages! If you need help signing up, please let me know. I you need another copy of your child’s unique code please let me know. In addition to tracking behavior I use Class Dojo to send reminders about things like conferences, major due dates, field trips, etc. Positive Consequences Team points Bee Bucks Eagle Awards Teacher recognition Peer recognition Negative Consequences Yellow Card – Warning Blue Card – Loss of a privilege and/or parent contact Red Card – Visit with Dr. Torres and parent contact Please review your Class Dojo account daily or at least weekly (Friday s) as well as your child’s life folder for behavior updates. Team points will be given to encourage teamwork among students. The table that has the most points at the end of the week will be able to pick their jobs for the following week.

Homework & Reading Log Homework vs. Classwork Reading Log
Homework is usually built into my classwork and there will NOT always be another assignment required. Please ask your child to explain their agenda to you. When homework is assigned it will be posted daily on the board. It is the student’s responsibility to copy these into their Student Planner. Daily and Weekly Must Do assignments not completed in class ARE TO BE COMPLETED AT HOME. This is the majority of homework in this class. Classwork assignments should be copied into Student Planners so students can plan their time properly. Spelling words are to be copied into Student Planners on Monday. All Must Do’s are due by FRIDAY. Monthly/Quarterly projects based on curriculum Reading Log Research has never shown a convincing link between traditional nightly homework and a positive effect on student learning. However, it does show that students become better readers by reading at their ability level or at a slightly higher level. It also shows that children who read consistently will have a richer vocabulary and writing ability. Reading Logs sent home as needed Must be enjoyable and not below reading ability for Reading Log Can they read a favorite book that IS below their ability?

C.H.A.M.P.S. C- Conversation H – Help A – Activity M – Movement
CHAMPS is a school wide behavior program that we will be using this year. Students are provided with clear expectations for every activity and each period of time in the classroom, as well as around the campus. C- Conversation H – Help A – Activity M – Movement P – Participation S - Success This will help students by having consistent expectations and rules no matter where they go. We are very excited to share this positive and proven method to help our Vine Eagles achieve their Personal Best!
