Class Rules

  • Follow adult directions
  • Keep hands, feet, and objects to self
  • Respect yourself and others

Our classroom rules are basic guidelines for cooperative behavior.  Students are expected to be respectful and responsible in their actions.  I want each student to feel safe and comfortable in the classroom.  During the first few weeks of school, we'll spend a significant amount of time practicing Southern Elementary procedures and appropriate CHAMP behaviors.

Behavior Policy

The ticket system will be used as our behavior plan in the classroom.  In the case of misbehaviors, students will pull tickets and receive the consequences listed below.  Not pulling any tickets will be rewarded with 2 green checks on the chart.  When a student fills the chart they are rewarded with treasure chest.  I will only mark the behavior section on the weekly report if a ticket is pulled.

  • GREEN…no tickets pulled/2 checks on chart
  • YELLOW…1 ticket pulled/has had 2 or more warnings, no checks on the chart
  • ORANGE…2 tickets pulled/5 minutes off group physical activity/note to family
  • RED…3 tickets pulled/10 minutes off group physical activity/not to family
  • BLUE…4 tickets pulled/10 minutes off group physical activity/note to family AND time out in another room

Homework Policy

Homework will be assigned on Monday and/or Tuesday.  It will generally consist of phonics and vocabulary words, reading comprehension, and math practice.  Students will receive a weekly report at the beginning of each week.  The weekly report shows what we're learning in class, daily behavior, and any reminders or school information.  Students are also asked to read for 10-20 minutes each night and record it on the log.  A parent/guardian should initial the bottom each night.  Homework is not due until Friday, but the folder and weekly report should be returned each day.  Our class participates in the Book-It reading incentives program and Accelerated Reader to help encourage reading daily.
