Behavior Policy
In grades 3-6 we will be using a monthly communication calendar to monitor student behavior. Examples of warning behaviors that would be recorded on this log include but are not limited to: talking and or shouting out, being disrespectful, and practicing inappropriate cafeteria or recess behavior.  If a student accumulates 3 warning behaviors in a given month, they will be issued a demerit.  Certain behaviors such as disrespect towards classmates or faculty, inappropriate language, and physical fighting warrant an automatic demerit and will be handled on a case by case basis.  

Positive Reward System
For any time when the whole class shows outstanding behavior, receives a compliment from someone outside of our class, or performs perfectly on an exam, a tally will go to the “whole class” group on the board. When the whole class reaches 10 tally marks, the class will receive a prize from a random prize wheel. Also, the number the wheel lands on will be flipped on a bingo board. Once the board reaches bingo, the class will have a party to celebrate their hard work!

Individual Prizes
Individual prizes are distrubited occasionally when an individual student shows outstanding behavior. Some individual prizes found in the prize bins include homework passes, “switch a seat” passes, colorful erasers, and pencils.

Whole Class Prizes
Some whole class prizes include extra recess time, no homework day, craft time, free reading period, and many more.


 

Above all else, my classroom is one of respect, acceptance, and support. Starting on day 1, we will build a community of love and adovcacy. It is expected that every student will fully participate and strive to exist with kindness and acceptance of all differences.
