Classroom Rules:
1. Follow directions the first time given.
2. Raise your hand and wait for permission to speak.
3. Stay in your seat unless you have permission to be up.
4. Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself.
5. Follow the school rules at all times.
To encourage students to follow the classroom rules, I will reinforce
appropriate behavior with such rewards as: 1) verbal praise 2) stickers 3)
positive notes 4) treats from our goody box 5) Class coupons.
If the student breaks a rule a verbal warning is given first then the
following consequences:
1st time they pull a card = Warning
2nd time they pull a blue stick = Loss of 15 minutes recess
3rd time they pull a yellow stick = Loss of all recess
4th time they pull a green stick = Loss of all recess and email /call to
parent
5th time they pull a card = Loss of all recess, call to parent, and sent to
the office.
SEVERE DISRUPTION, such as fighting, will be sent to the office immediately.
I will notify you daily of your child’s behavior through the agenda. If you
could please initial it nightly so that I know that we are all on the same
page.
Mrs. Kerney’s Class Procedures
Agendas:
Front pocket: There is a pocket in the front of your child’s agenda.
Please look in this pocket daily removing any graded work, notes home,
homework, etc. If you are retuning homework or sending in money or notes,
use this pocket to do so. I check the pockets every morning by 7:45. Any
time you send in money with your child, please put it in an envelope and
mark what it is for.
Calendar: Please refer to the calendar page in the agenda to see what is
going on in the classroom that week.
School Talk Comment box: In the boxes to the right on the calendar is where
to check for your child’s daily behavior. If they have behaved well they
will receive a stamp. If they have lost a card you will see a different
stamp.
The rule broken will be marked and any additional information I feel you may
need to know about the situation.
Homework Letter:
A homework letter will be sent home with your child every Monday listing the
weeks Spelling Words, Reading words, Homework, and weekly information.
Please keep these at home and review all old spelling and reading words, as
they are also sight words.
Tests:
Each week your child will be tested over:
• Spelling words (pre-test given on Tuesday, if they receive a 100
they will be exempt from the test on Friday, all others will re-test on
Friday)
• Sight words (combination of that weeks spelling words and reading
words- typically given on Thursday)
• Math
• Phonics / language arts
• Reading comprehension (typically given on Wednesday)
Friday Folders / Graded Work:
Please review your child’s work and grades with them as they are sent home
weekly in the FRIDAY FOLDERS. Please sign the FRIDAY FOLDERS and return
them with your child on Monday’s.
