Mrs. Gresham's Classroom Expectations 1. Speak for yourself...not for anyone else. 2. Listen to others...and they will listen to you. 3. Avoid putdowns...who needs them. 4. Take charge of yourself...you are responsible for you. 5. Show respect...every person is important. 6. Have fun...life is a gift! (credit: Shades Cahaba Way, Shades Cahaba Elementary) Good Behavior Spotted Explanation My classroom is set up on the "spot" system. If students do not follow the classroom expectations, a verbal warning will be given. If a child does not follow the expectations after being warned, he or she must remove a spot from his or her ladybug. Students who remove a spot, will be required to miss the first 5 minutes of recess. If a student loses two spots, they will have a note sent home about their behavior. If students lose all spots, a parent will be notified to discuss the child�s behavior. Students have the opportunity to earn back lost spots if their behavior has improved for the remainder of the day. A behavior log will be sent home daily showing how many "spots" your child kept/earned. Please review this log each night and initial to show that you have seen it. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. I know that if we work together and communicate throughout the year, your child will have a successful year in kindergarten!
