Our goal this year is to teach students how to make good decisions. We want our students to learn that they are accountable for every decision they make daily. Our ultimate goal is to teach them life learning skills in order for them to become good citizens in our community.

Our classroom main expectation if for our students to treat each other with respect. Bullying and putting other students down is not acceptable. Below is our classroom discipline plan.

Classroom Discipline Plan Our discipline plan incorporates math and social studies to teach students how to effectively make good decisions.

Students will earn pennies each day for the following areas: Students will lose their pennies each day for the following areas: Every Friday, students will add their pennies and subtract any fines they may have acquired for the week. Whatever amount students have left, they will be able to use to purchase school supplies, small treats, small toys, etc. in our classroom store.
 * Completing homework and seatwork
 * Caught making good decisions
 * Earning 100% on any test.
 * Making bad decisions such as talking (T), pushing (P), Out of seat (O), Not paying attention (A), Coming to School unprepared (H)
 * The first time they receive a letter, it is just a warning. He/she will not lose a penny. However, any letter following the first letter will result in them losing two pennies, one for the warning letter and one for the new letter.
 * Any child who earns 3 letters will lose his/her recess. Students who receives 4 letters will get a note home. Any students who disrupt the class further may result in him/her going to the office.

Homework Policy Students will have homework from Monday-Thursday. **__They will have a math paper and either a spelling or a reading paper each day except Friday.__** They are also responsible to make sure parents check and sign their planners daily. The planner is our daily communication to you on your child's behavior. Students who had a good day will receive a sticker in the planner. Students who did not make good decisions that day, will have letters written in their planner. It is very important for parents to initial planners daily. Like the homework, planners will go home everyday except for Friday. On Friday, students will take home the graded homework folders.

Graded Papers Graded papers will be sent home on the last day of each week in a folder. Please take the papers out of the folder and go over it with your child. Please sign the folder and return it each Monday.
