Hi Everyone,

We are off to a great start this year!  Last week, we went over “Our Class Rules.” Students have been reviewing these rules each day by working on a Classroom Rule Book (coloring and buddy reading).
    Now that we have these rules in effect… it is important for students to follow them. In First Grade, we have come up with a Reminder Slip when students forget a rule more than once. The big idea here is that if a student is keeping others from learning, then they need to fill out a Reminder Slip that will go home. I hope that parents will then discuss the slip with their child before signing it. This is the student’s responsibility, so if it does not come back the next day… they will need to sit out of recess for 5 minutes.

If a student receives more than 5 in a Quarter, they will lose Field Trip and/or Party privileges.

I hope you all understand the reasoning for this. We are here to learn and it is unfair for one student to keep others from doing so. The goal is to have a successful year with LOTS of LEARNING!!  Mistakes are okay, but we want the students to learn from them.

Thank you for your support! Ms. Pitcher
