PRIDES
This year our classes have been assigned prides to be part of. This promotes “No Place for Hate” and builds character. Prides work together to receive points. We get points for: caring, trustworthiness, responsibility, respect, and citizenship.
Ask your student about what tribe they are part of and how they may earn points.

Fun Friday• Every other Friday the students earn the privilege
of participating in Fun Friday.• The students have three opportunities to redirect
their behavior in our classroom. Students are expected to have all work and homework completed. If they fulfill this-they are allowed to participate.
• The students work very hard and really enjoy their Fun Fridays.

D.I.R.T. F.T
• D.- DOING • i.-IT• R.-RIGHT • T.-THE• F.-FIRST• T.-TIME
When students are observed doing something right the first time they are rewarded with a D.I.R.T. F.T. This goes into a basket and once a week we pull 3 names and those students get to go to the
treasure box.

What you can expect.
Homework-Agenda book.-Encourages responsibility-3 parts-ask your students.-The agenda book is to keep parents aware of assignments and test.-Homework is given to reinforce skills and the practice of the skills.
-Various creative reading and writing home assignments will be assigned.-Homework choice boards will start this week.
Students must have an independent reading book of their choice at all times in our class. This is not an option, but an expectation.
• FYI: Research on reading effectiveness shows that children who read 30 minutes a day/5 days a week, can dramatically increase their reading and writing skills within a short period of time. Moreover, if a learning partner (mother, father, grandparents, etc…) works with a child once a week for 30 minutes, additional gains are made in reading, writing, and higher order thinking skills
