Correcting Negative Behavior
1. Quickly correct or signalthe error. ("That was not respectful.")
2. Re-state the expected behavior. ("We speak kindly to each other to show respect.")
3. Provide an opportunity for positive interaction. (Let's try that again. How would you show respect?")
4. Provide the child positive feedback. ("That was a kind thing to say.")
It is also a good idea to remind expectations before your child is put into a situation. For example, before you enter a restaurant, you can remind them that you expect them to speak with an inside voice, use their napkin to wipe their face and to chew with their mouth closed. By stating these expectations ahead of time, you are setting them up for success!
Current Tiger Troubles
1. Lunchroom behaviors - Our students are having a hard time picking up after themselves, staying seated and using appropriate language.
2. Tardies - Lincoln School starts at 8:20am. Anything later than this is considered a tardy and more importantly loss of instructional time.
3. Dress Code - Navy Blue or Khaki “bottoms”: Navy Blue or Khaki uniform style pants, and cargo pants, fitted at the waist line, capris, jumpers, skorts, and uniform shorts and skirts of fingertip length or longer. Tiger gear sweatshirts are also considered part of the uniform and can be purchased, when available, at school
Leggings, hoodies, graphic sweatshirts and crocs are all things that are NOT in our dress code. Cell phones are also not be a part of the uniform and should be off and stored in the locker.
Thank you for your help in addressing these issues. With a strong partnership we can make great things happen. It takes a village!!
