Important Message
I am writing to let you that I will be out of town beginning this Friday, Dec. 6th and all of next week, Dec. 9th -13th. One of my sons will be playing on the PHX All Star team in the nationals football tournament in Florida.
The students and I have discussed my expectations for them while with a substitute for so long. Each day, please encourage your child to:
1. Be respectful to teachers and each other
2. Be honest
3. Stay on task (they are very talkative)
4. Listen to ALL directions
5. Do Not talk back
6. Make good choices-even when no one is watching
7.Act the same way they would (or better) if Mrs. Coleman was there.
Clip Chart Rewards & Consequences
-Amazing Day: prize box
-Great Day: Prize box
-Good Day: swag tags
-Ready to Learn: They start here every day
-Think About it: Warning
-Teacher Choice: Time out / fill out think sheet / 5 minutes of recess gone
-Parent Contact: Students call home/ No 2nd recess / conference with teacher
-Referral: conference with the dean of students
*students are able to move up, down, or back up through out the day
These rewards and consequences have been in place since the start of the year, so students are very aware of them.
As an incentive, we will be having a party the Monday I return for all students who have exhibited good behavior. That means students who end up on parent contact 3 times, will not be permitted to attend.
I believe my students will make great choices as long as they know their parents and teacher are on the same page and are working together to encourage good behavior and hard work.
Also, benchmark assessments for the school will be happening next week. But my class will take their ELA and Math Benchmarks on Monday, Dec16th and Tuesday, Dec. 17th, when I return. Just to make sure they are comfortable and are trying their best.
Thank you
