We want our school and classroom to be a warm, safe, and happy place to be. In order to do that we need to follow our classroom rules. I expect good behavior to be not only in the classroom, but also in the hallway, bathrooms, cafeteria, special classes and on the playground of our school.
The behavior management plan in our classroom is designed to provide both rewards and consequences, and targets acceptable, unacceptable, individual, and total class behaviors.
Parents, I am excited to meet and welcome your child to my class. I am looking forward to a very exciting and rewarding school year. I want to encourage teamwork between the children and myself in making good behavior decisions. I recognize that each child is different with respect to their own style and speed. With that said, my goal is to create a safe, secure, positive, and supportive learning environment so that each and every child in my classroom can learn. My main goal is to encourage the children to make smart choices and develop positive behavior on their own. The classroom rules that are established within our classroom on the first day of school will help our class run smoothly and effectively this year.
Your child is ALWAYS responsible for his/her own actions. We have a pocket chart displayed in our classroom and each child has a set of index cards that starts the day on green. If a child is spoken to about his/her behavior his/her card changes to yellow, then orange, and then to pink. The consequences are as follows:
Green = No Warning / Verbal Warning
Yellow = Verbal Warning + Another Warning
Orange= Too Many Warnings - loss of recess
Pink = Too Many Warnings / Pink Slip or Met with
Miss Abromitis (Principal) - loss of recess for one
week
**A Daily Behavior Chart is sent home with your child in his/her BEAR Binder. The chart will allow you to see what color your child's bee was for that day along with any notes or concerns. Please be sure to sign this chart each day so that I am aware that it has been seen and discussed. |
