Ms. Davis' 1st Grade Happenings!!!
Hello Parents!
We had another wonderful week in 1st grade! Next week students will begin recording their behavior for the day in their agendas. Please look for this so you can keep up with how your child is doing. The Behavior Clip Chart works the following way: Each student has a clip with their number on it and will begin the day on “ready to learn”. Throughout the school day they have the opportunity to move up on the chart for positive behavior, or down the chart for not making good choices. Students are first given one warning before they have to move their clip down. If they are off task and have to be redirected again, they will have to move their clip to “think about it”. For their 2nd infraction, they move down to “teachers choice” which can be 10 minutes of silent lunch, etc. For the 3rd infraction, students will move their clip to parent contact and will receive a note home from me. At the end of each day, students will record what they landed on. This is just to encourage outstanding behavior during the school day! Don’t be alarmed if your child comes home on “think about it” It is just a reminder to encourage them to follow our classroom rules. Thank you in advance for your understanding!
