News

       Oh how I enjoy your children!  Thank you for sharing them with me! We have worked hard on establishing a routine and effective classroom management skills so optimal learning will occur with each child.  Le 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 “power 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.
