Our classroom expectations are resonable and "doable" by all, and
are consistenly followed by all of our Kindercritters and reinforced
by us, their teachers. You may ask, "Why the need for expectations
and consequences?" Our answer: they help to foster and maintain a
safe, respectful, and optimal teaching and learning environment for
all.
To assist our efforts within the classroom, we strongly urge you to
routinely discuss and review these expectations at home with your
child.

Please assist us and continue to discuss and reinforce these classroom (and beyond the classroom)/school expectations at home. |

|
A note, e-mail, verbal chat, or phone call home may also occur. |
|
|
|
|
Should an offence be extremely severe or a child repeatedly exhibits and demonstrates unacceptable behaviour, he/she will be removed from the classroom and a parent/guardian will be contacted to come and take the child home. |
|
|
|
|
Our classroom has two "Thinking Chairs". Should a child be asked to go to one of these chairs, he/she will sit quietly for a certain amount of minutes based upon his/her age (ex.-4 years old=4 minutes) and think about why he/she is there. In addition, to understanding why he/she is there, the child must develop a "plan of action" that will constructively fix the problem. Before returning to the activity from which he/she was removed, the child must verbally tell a teacher the reason for "the chair" and his/her "action plan". |
