Dear Parents, It is my belief that a child learns self-discipline by learning early in life how to obey rules. I try to make my discipline as positive as possible. I use a conduct board with five monster titles on it. (Awesome! Good Job! Make Better Choices! Warning! Consequence!) When a student’s behavior is less than it should be, a clothes pin will be moved to the next card. If a student has as many as three Warnings or Consequences in one week, I may need a parent conference.
I expect all students to move their clothes pin occasionally. Please do not expect perfection from your child, because I don’t!
Each Friday, you will receive a conduct report reflecting the whole week. Every day is a new day with the conduct board. If your child has received Warning or Consequence one day, view it as “let’s try again tomorrow”. Your cooperation will be very much appreciated in this joint effort.
Students who have all Awesome and Good Job during the week will receive a treat from the snack box. Students who receive any Warning or Consequence during the week will not be rewarded at all, but will get to try again the next week.
To guarantee your child and all students in my classroom the excellent educational atmosphere they deserve, I will not tolerate a student preventing me from teaching, nor any student preventing another from learning.
Therefore, in my classroom, I am utilizing the following rules:
Listen when the teacher is speaking and follow directions.
Raise your hand to speak and wait to be called upon.
Work quietly at your desk.
Treat all others in a Christ-like manner.
Be respectful (say please and thank you) and kind.
I have already discussed this plan with the students, but would appreciate it if you would take the time to go over it with your child again. Thank you for your support! Mrs. Hurst
