Classroom Rules, Rewards, and Consequences

Classroom Rules

Come to class prepared: eat breakfast every morning

RESPECT others property and other students' right to learn

Treat others with ONLY your best intentions in mind

Listen and follow directions the FIRST time they are given.

DO YOUR BEST!

Consequences

Students who break the rules must adhere to certain consequences. 

These are our class consequences:

Offense 1: Talk with teacher

Offense 2: Loss of lunch recess

Offense 3:  Loss of special activity, including parties

Offense 4: Note/Phone call home

Offense 5:  Conference with parent

If a student exceeds 5 offenses they are risking receiving a pink slip and/or having to participate in the S.M.A.R.T. Saturday School Program, which parents must attend too.

*In extreme cases some consequence steps may be skipped.

Rewards 

Prize Pull: 

Our class has an opportunity to ear individual rewards based off of their behavior when they are with me.  Students will receive stickers everytime they are caught being respectful, responsible, problem solvers, correcting a behavior, amongst others.  After a set number of stickers the student will have a chance to participate in Prize Pull.  Prize Pull allows the student to pick a mystery reward from a container that holds different types of rewards.  For example, some possible rewards are: sit in the teachers chair all day, do only half an assignment, game time, computer time, be the leader of a class game, no early morning work, 5 extra test points for the test of your choice, etc.

Marble Jar Points:

Our class has an opportunity to win a class reward by working together during specialist periods, lunch, recess, and in the hallways.  When our class receives a compliment or simply does an amazing job during a specialist period (art, music, social studies, library, science, gym, and computers) I will add 3-5 marbles into a jar.  When the marbles reach the Marble Party Line, we will have a class party that the students will vote on. 

If, at any time, they struggle together as a class, marble points can be lost.

The reasoning for this is because we are working really hard this year on teamwork and building a great team/class.
