In my classroom I believe in having an organization and rewards systems which allows me to motivate the students while also peacefully maintaining discipline. In my class each student will have a pocket on the behavior wall in which different colored cards will represent their behavior throughout the day. A green card is good behavior, yellow moderate behavior with some minor issues and Red is bad behavior with multiple issues. Each week on Friday your child will come home with a behavior chart with their colors for the entire week along with their work and progress in class. I ask that you sign the behavior chart so that I know that you have seen it and return it to class on Monday. In addition your child will have a star chart on their desk where I will reward star stickers for exemplary behavior, when a child fills their chart they will get to choose a reward for their good behavior. If they fill their chart they can choose one of these options:
 * Classroom Rewards System: **

· Pick a prize from my treasure box · Have lunch with me   · No homework pass for a day

*This syllabus is subject to change.
