Letter to Families February 8th

Dear Families,

I hope you are all enjoying our almost ’snow-less’ winter. I won’t lie, I wouldn’t mind a little white stuff on the ground to play in, Oh well, maybe next year! We are going to be starting a new program to help students become more responsible for their own behaviors This program focuses upon self management.

Each student will have a library pocket on their desk. At the beginning of the day each child will have a card in the library pocket. The goal for the day is to keep the card in the pocket. At the end of the day if the student has a card in the pocket, they receive a sticker on their sticker chart. At the end of the month, we will have a special celebration for all of the students who have earned stickers 90% of the time. Each child could lose 2-3 stickers depending on the month and still earn the celebration. 

Here’s a checklist of points for each child to consider: 

• I am ready for class with materials.

• I use my time wisely and appropriately.

• I am respectful of teachers and classmates.

• I follow directions.

• I listen and participate in class.

 I hope that every child qualifies for our Self Manager’s Celebration for the month of February. It is really a great way to recognize all of our students who do their best at all times. If you have questions about this program, please call or email me.

 Thanks!

Mrs. Clouse
