We have a class behavior chart which consists of eight colors.
Four colors are for exceptional behavior and produce a reward for
your child at the end of the day. Each day your child will record
on their homework log where their clip was for that day. If needed
I will write notes explaining the reason for the color they were on
for that day.

Your child will be bringing home a homework folder every night.
This folder is to come back to school every morning. Please check
this folder for important papers and daily homework assignments. If
this folder is lost or damaged it will need to be replaced as soon
as possible. This folder will contain a nightly check off list of
homework for parents as well as a check off area regarding your
childs behavior for that day. Keeping track of this folder will
help your child learn organizational skills and will insure that
notes to/from home and school are delivered. I check them each
morning and I ask you to check them each evening.

Some Good Advice..
Slide 29
Children Learn What They Live If children live with hostility,
they learn to fight. If children live with ridicule, they learn to
be shy. If children live with tolerance, they learn to be patient.
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence. If
children live with praise, they learn to appreciate. If children
live with fairness, they learn justice. If children live with
security, they learn faith. If children live with approval, they
learn to like themselves. If children live with acceptance, and
friendship, they learn to find love in the world.
