Classroom+Expectations

= Independence = === This year, students will be expected to stay organized and keep up with their materials. Students who lose or damage materials will clip down. Homework will be checked and reviewed daily. Students who do not complete their homework will clip down. It is the student's responsibility to show their guardian all important documents, notes, and planner each night. Guardians should initial the planner each night showing that it has been reviewed. If the agenda is not initialed the student will clip down. === = = = Classroom Rules =

6. Respect others, respect yourself, and respect your school.
= Behavior Grades =

U- Unsatisfactory: Teacher chooses recess station, behavior reflection note, phone call home, office referral
= Field trips = ===** Students and parents will sign a field trip attendance contract for each trip. If a student does not show appropriate behavior at school, a guardian may need accompany them on the field trip or the student cannot attend. Students who are unable to attend a field trip will be learning in an alternate setting. **===

= The Great Pencil Challenge = === Students can use a lot of pencils in one year and many times its because they're being irresponsible. We want to save as much money as possible! Students will begin by repeating the challenge pledge and signing their name on the bulletin board stating that they have accepted the challenge. On Monday, students will be given one pencil with their number written on it. It is their own responsibility to keep track of their pencil. On Friday, Mrs. Brinson will check to see who still has their pencil. If they still have their pencil, they will receive a prize and will put a sticker on their bulletin board pencil. This will show everyone how many weeks they have been responsible. Students who did not keep up with their pencil will be given another one and will try again the following week! Students will be given a new pencil if their pencil is too small or has a damaged eraser. This will not keep them from earning their sticker or prize. ===

4. Sticker
= Brownie Points = === Each time someone in our class receives a compliment from someone other than Mrs. Brinson, we place a brownie on our sheet pan. When we have earned twelve brownies, we will bake brownies. We will bake a different kind each time (Oreo, fudge, cheesecake, etc.)! ===

= Water Bottles = === Students are allowed to bring water bottles to keep at their desk. This is encouraged especially through August and September. Please be sure that your child only brings a water bottle that has a lid. Cleaning up spills wastes valuable class time. Only water is permitted in class. ===

Anything else will be returned to the book bag. If the bottle becomes distracting to your child, then they will lose the privilege.
