About The Teacher
I would like to welcome you and your child to my class. My name is Lesley Fruth. I live in Red Bud with my husband Alex and our twin daughters, Allyson and Lindsey. I have been teaching for 7 years. I began my teaching at New Athens as a kindergarten aide. I then taught second grade for two years. I resigned after my pregnancy to stay home with our daughters. After caring for the twins for a year, I began teaching at Valmeyer as a Language Arts aide. This is my third year as the Kindergarten teacher at SJB. I am excited about teaching your child and working with you this coming year

Mission Label:


Mission
Rules Listen when others are talking Follow directions Keep your hands, feet, and objects to yourself Work quietly and do not disturb others Show respect for school and personal property Work and play in a safe manner Reward System I believe that when you reward good behavior children will more likely demonstrate that behavior again. Each day the children will have an opportunity to receive two stickers for the day, one for their morning behavior and one for their afternoon behavior. When a child receives 5 stickers they will get a card, with their name on it, flipped to the next number. When their card reaches ten they will get a prize out of a treasure box. There is also a class card. If everyone gets two stickers for the day the class card will be flipped to the next number. When the class card reaches ten the class will receive a party. Their sticker chart will be sent home with a weekly report each Friday. Consequences There are times when a child must have a consequence for the rules they break. I always give a child a warning and tell them what they are doing is unacceptable. If they continue to break the rules they will get a fish, with their name on it, flipped from green to yellow. This is a visual I use so that the child knows they have broken a rule and will receive a five minute time out at recess. If the behavior continues the yellow fish will be flipped to red and they will receive a 10 minute time out at recess. After a child has had their time out, their fish will be flipped back to green and they get a brand new start. The children will have three times per day that their fish will be tuned back to green. We have a morning recess or free play, a lunch recess, and an afternoon recess or free play. If the behavior continues to occur several times, there will need to be a conference about the behavior. Each week I send home a weekly behavior report. You will know how your child behaved for that week. If your child did not break any rules and behaved well, that will be indicated on the report also. Folder Explanation • Homework Folder – “Fun Folder” This folder goes home everyday. It will have work that has been done that day, notes from the teacher, and homework that needs to be done for the next day. This folder needs to come back to school the following day. This is the folder you may put notes or money in. This folder gets check every morning. • Blue Folder – “Friday Folder” This folder goes home every Friday. It will have your child’s assessment papers and notes from the teacher. It needs to come back to school on Monday or next school day. • White Envelope This envelope goes home every Friday. It will have any notes from the office in it. If your child is not the oldest in the class he or she may not have anything that comes home weekly. This folder stills needs to come back on Monday or the next school day.
