Please check my blog weekly for information about the class. At the start of each week I will post the info for the week (number of the week, word of the week, story, upcoming dates, etc.). You will also find pictures of different activities in our classroom.
I have a new behavior system this school year. I have gone to a 3 level system. Students earn pennies for following our classroom rules. At the end of the day, the students count the pennies to see how many they have.
1-30 pennies is Level 1 (yellow)
31-60 pennies is Level 2 (green)
61-100 pennies is Level 3 (purple)
Each level will have 3-4 different rewards the students can earn. If a student is at Level 1, they can only earn a Level 1 reward. If a student is at Level 2, they can pick from Level 1 or 2 rewards. If a student is at Level 3, they can pick from Level 1, 2, or 3. The students will put their color in their notebook at the end of the day so you can see what level they were on. We started this today, and the kids really seemed to like it! This kind of behavior plan is all about encouraging positive behavior.
This Thursday (8/21) is Open House at CCIS from 6:00-7:30. Please come visit the classroom and have your child take you on a tour of the school. If you need help setting up Remind 101, I will be happy to help you that night. Hope to see everyone Thursday!
The start of school is always a big transition, so please make sure your child gets plenty of sleep and eats breakfast before school. Remember to send student's notebook and folder to school each day.
We are off to a great start in the TRAILS program! :)
