5 Point System & Clubs• Students will begin the day with 5 points and every student should

strive to stay on 5 or above. • Students will record their daily total in their take-home folder

(primary) and agenda books (intermediate). • SOAR Celebration Clubs will occur every 2 weeks.• Teams will brainstorm ideas for Clubs with students and will offer 3-4

twenty-thirty minute rotations: active activity, quiet activity, arts and crafts, movie, etc.

• Possible ideas include: read with a flashlight, dance party, bring in a board game, arts & crafts, drawing, etc.

• To attend the Clubs, students will need 80% of the total possible points for the first quarter. This percentage will go up throughout the year and parents will be informed.

• If you’re interested in donating supplies or assisting with Clubs, please contact your child’s teacher.

SOAR Tickets• Students will continue to earn SOAR tickets.• Two students’ names from every grade level

will be randomly pulled on Monday mornings for the SOAR School-wide Lottery. Names will be announced on the a.m. announcements.

• Students who are picked will have their picture taken with Ms. Bowen to be displayed on the SOAR bulletin board. Students will also pick a SOAR reward from a menu of choices.

Classroom SOAR Ticket Rewards• When students have earned 10 SOAR

tickets, they will be able to trade-in their tickets to their classroom teacher for something from the Coupon Bin or the Prize Bin.
