ELC at George Earle Weekly Update

Hard work pays off! Our students are working hard every day in their classrooms and the learning goals are coming right along! Students not only receive positive reinforcement for their efforts in academics, they also receive accolades for leadership, showing grit in the classroom, and kindness. They will be rewarded for their good habits and hard work. Our school implements a PBIS program where we identify and reward leadership and grit characteristics in our students. Throughout the year, students work on getting tickets individually as well as a class. They work towards a goal as a whole school to earn a reward with their tickets. On top of whole school rewards, each quarter, each teacher picks 2 students that represent going above and beyond in every day behavior and kindness in our Royalty Court. Each teacher also picks 2 students that have made huge strides in learning and academic growth as their GRIT workers. We celebrate the students with a Royal Gala at the end of each quarter. Our first one is right around the corner on 10/20. You can learn more about the PBIS definition and trend here Positive Behavior Interventions and Support.

Last Friday morning, we celebrated “Time Out For Reading” where members of the community came into each of our classrooms at 10am and read a story to the kiddos. Each kindergartener also got their very own copy of the story that was read to them to keep at home! They read ”There was an Old Lady who Swallowed Some Leaves” and they loved it!!!
