News

         We have had a great first week of school!  Thank you for sharing your children with me!  Each one has a special place in my heart already!  I love being with them each day and seeing them learn and grow!

         We have worked hard on establishing a routine and effective classroom management skills so optimal learning will occur with each child.  Let me explain how our classroom management works.  If a student is disrupting the rest of the class, he/she gets a clothespin on the green stoplight. This is just a reminder.  If he/she needs two reminders, the clothespin is moved to yellow and five minutes of recess is missed.  If three reminders are needed, he/she sits on the “thinking chair” away from the other children.  After a few minutes, I visit with him/her and ask if they are ready to join the class again.  If there is still a problem, he/she will visit with Mr. Oldroyd and it will be determined if the Skills Building Program is needed.  Your child will bring home a paper for you to sign if he/she was on the red stoplight that day.  I will also contact you so we can further discuss how we can work together to improve the behavior.  Thank you for your support!

           Have a wonderful week and please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns!
