Classroom Management

Rules Be kind to others! Follow directions. Walk in all areas of the school. One person speaks at a time. Raise your hand to speak. Keep your hands and feet to yourself.

Rewards and Consequences

Students collect paper french fries to trade in on Fridays for prizes. The more fries you are able to gather, the more prizes you are able to buy.

Fries can be taken away also! If a student is asked to give the teacher a fry, it will be thrown away.

Students can keep their fries by following the rules, doing their homework and being kind!

Let’s enjoy a year of fun and learning together.

I’m glad you were able to join me. Please take some time to look around the room with your child. Enjoy the rest of your evening.
