There are many great things to learn this year, including classroom rules and expectations. As you know, good behavior and learning go hand in hand. Simple class rules will be established to ensure that your child and the others have a positive and safe learning classroom environment. We will work together to create these rules during the first couple weeks of school.
We believe that children need to learn the importance of accepting responsibility for their choices. All children are expected to follow classroom rules and procedures and we will help them learn to do so in a positive, fair, and equitable manner. Good discipline allows us to teach and the children to learn.
Our classroom will always focus on the positive; however there will be times when reminders need to be given to re-direct behavior. It is our goal to re-direct behavior with a warning. To help guide and monitor choices for behavior we will be using an online tool called Class Dojo. Each child will earn 4 points at the beginning of the day for behaviors that I expect them to have during the day (Cooperative, Honest, Mindful, On Task). The students can earn extra points for making good choices during the day, even if others around them are not. They can also lose points for not making good choices, after being given a warning. You will be able to check your child's behavior daily through the Class Dojo app. I will give you directions of how to do this at Open House.
We look forward to establishing the best classroom and learning environment for your children. We will practice our rules and procedures a lot. We have no doubt that this will be an excellent year for us all!
