Classroom Management:

Children need to be nurtured and guided.� I am committed to do all discipline in love and the best interest of your child.� Children need an environment that is peaceful and in order to learn, feel safe, and be creative.� I give lots of encouragement and positive reinforcement.� We have a marble jar for the whole class to earn a special party once it is filled.� I give table points for good cooperative tables.� At the end of the week, the table with the most points, get to pick pencils from the pencil box.� Whenever I notice a child who is kind, is a good helper, does exceptional work, stays or stays on task, I reward with a star or apple for their "good character pocket."� We count them and put them on a chart regularily.� When a child fills the chart (25 points), they get to pick something out of the treasure box.� Also, students that did not go past yellow have the opportunity to participate in "Fun Friday."� I also have a monthly calendar that show each day what color the child has earned.� If the child stays in green with no more than three yellows, they may pick from the treasure box at the end of the month.� As you can see, I have many opportunities for positive behavior management.� For discipline, I use the "color card system."�

Green - Great Job! :0)

Yellow - Oh Oh, Be Careful (Just a warning)

Orange - Oops!� Take 5 (Time out to think about it)

Red - Yikes! Note home to parents

Look for the behavior chart in their kindergarten folder that goes home and comes back every day.� Discuss your child's color.� Encourage them and praise them.� Help them make good choices if they got less than green.� Know that all children are loved no matter what color they go home in.� We always start a new day with green.� Each child will be appreciated and understood for their individual personality.� Some children just may need more guidance than others.� I desire to work together and support one another in developing your child's good character.� any concerns you may have, feel free to talk to me.
