PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES LINK
House Points/Behavior System
House Points
Students will be sorted into one of the four houses above, representing virtues. The house system is a proven educational framework and it encourages house members to work together in this friendly competition to gain points for their house. More to come about this once I explain it to the kids! :)
Other systems
Students get table points and at the each week the table group with most points opens my treasure chest. They can also earn individual Class Dojo points and they can "purchase" things with their points in my Dojo Store.
As far as negative consequences, I do give infractions as well. One infraction is just a warning, and a second one is missing 5 minutes of their 2nd recess only (I like their first recess to be theirs).
You will be informed of any issues at all, as well as their highlights. You are their first teacher, and I love for you to celebrate them for what they are accomplishing in the classroom, as well as supporting them in the areas they can grow. I truly could not do this without you- you are a HUGE blessing in my life as their second teacher.
