Expedition Expectations (Rules)

Our management system uses Math in a fun, educational way as well as promotes learning basic economic concepts on a daily basis.

 The Students earn pennies for their penny jars for doing the following jobs.  They may also earn pennies for good hallway behavior, showing good teammanship, having a good attitude, whatever I see that I'm trying to encourage.

The students may then use the pennies to purchase items in the classroom store once a month. 

Classroom Rules and Fines

In order for our daily expedition and explorations to go smoothly, this list of behavioral expectations have been established by the head of our team (the school and me) and agreed upon by the team members (your child).  We want every team member to be successful as they discover new things and learn new concepts.

1.     Listens and follows directions – speaks at appropriate times.

2.     Stays on task 

3.     Organizes, uses, and cares for materials

4.     Completes and turns in assignments in a timely manner     

5.     Respects the rights and property of others

6.     Resolves conflict appropriately

7.     Accepts responsibility for own behavior

8.  Running in the halls 

 

 

Consequences

 

 

 Green - No rules broken, well done!

Yellow - 1 rule broken , confer with teacher

Blue - 2 rules broken, walk for 10 minutes of recess, confer with teacher

Red- 3 rules broken , walk for all recess, confer with the teacher, note sent home

***Any student exhibiting severe behaviors or who are being disruptive despite warnings will be sent to the office.

 

 

 

Classroom Rewards

PENNIES, PENNIES, PENNIES!  They LOVE them!  They also receive lots of praise and support.

 

   Conduct Card

A conduct card will be sent home everyday in the Daily Binder to be signed by the parent/guardian.  You will see the codes for the rules broken plus whether your child was on green, yellow, blue, or red for each day.  It is to be signed at the end of the week and put back in the Conduct Folder. These cards are a very important communication tool and I rely on them heavily to monitor behavior and issues that may arise and to provide and receive feedback.  Your support in getting them signed and returned is greatly appreciated!  With consistent communication between parent and teacher, your child will be wildly successful.

 

Daily Folder

 

Everyday I will be sending home a Daily Binder.  Inside will be any communication between us, notes, and homework.  I will check with EACH child DAILY to make sure that they have returned these Binders.  This prepares your child for added responsibilities of third grade.  With a consistent system implemented, your child will take on this responsibility themselves and see to it that all homework is finished and the folder is returned.  I will be happy to show you some of the EASY ideas I've implemented with my own children.
