Procedures

We have a few simple rules in our class.  They are the same as our School Pledge and follow the three Rs.

                             1.  I will be Respectful.

                             2.  I will be Responsible.

                             3.  I will do the Right thing.

We have found that these rules can be applied to all aspects of school life ( probably life at home, too!).  If a child forgets to follow these rules and problems arise, the following consequences will occur:

          1)  The child’s name will be written on the board as a warning.

          2)  If the problem persists, a check will be added to the name  and 5 minutes

               will be taken away from recess.

          3)  If there is another incident, another check will be added to the name

               and all of recess will be taken away.

          4)  If a problem occurs a third time the child will be sent to the principal.

          5)  Detentions are given during recess or after school if the teacher or principal    

               feels the inappropriate behavior warrants it.

Written homework is assigned Monday through Thursday nights.  There is a Math Practice Sheet used to keep skills sharp and a Reading Worksheet used for phonics, story comprehension, or spelling.

 Your child is expected to read each night (even on weekends if possible) for 20-30 minutes.  Your child will take home two reading books each night.  They have a leveled book chosen especially for them at their individual reading level to develop fluency, and a book that the whole class is reading to develop comprehension skills.  Please listen to your child read aloud and provide help when they need it.

 I send home a daily News from 108 Sheet that lists the written and reading assignments.  There is a place for a parent signature and comments.  Please be sure to sign this each night, as it server as our communication tool between school and home.  I include a quick write-up of the day’s events and any important notes you need to be aware of.

 Of course, I understand if your child can’t complete a homework assignment occasionally, but any missed homework will need to be completed at recess time unless I receive a note from home.

 We have snack each morning at 10:30.  Everyone seems to be hungry by then.  Snacks stay in the backpack until snack time.

Your child may keep a water bottle on their desks if they need one.  Please be sure to send bottles with the pop-up type of lid to avoid spills.

 Your child is welcome to bring a treat to school for all to share to celebrate his/her birthday.  Summer birthdays will be celebrated as “half-birthdays”.  July birthdays will be celebrated in January and August birthdays will be celebrated in February.  June birthdays will be celebrated in June as we are at school for most of the month.
