Classroom News
I can’t wait to get to know everyone in our
class! It is truly a privilege to
share the joys of Third grade with you! Students entering Third Grade will be
met with a positive learning environment and a very positive attitude. J I want to make certain that students enjoy their learning
experiences. Students will be
recognized for their positive attitudes.
To be successful adults, students must work cooperatively with others
and practice the skill of teamwork.
This year your students will be evaluated on academic information, while
also mastering communication and spiritual skills. Students will learn to compromise, handle conflict,
organizational skills, accept responsibility and much, much more!
Classroom Discipline Policy
Learning in 3rd
grade is our main goal, however, interruptions in the learning process do occur
from time to time. If behavior
interrupts the learning process, it is addressed immediately. Children have a bee with their name on
it. If there is an interruption
during class, children will be asked to move their name. This is part of a “club” that focuses
on each student taking responsibility for him/herself. Membership to ICMM (I Can Manage Myself)
includes privileges such as extra computer time, recess, movie time, game time
or other special days.

Rewards
The class also
works together and is rewarded as a group. When the class is working quietly during class, walking in
line nice, quite in the hall or receives a compliment from another teacher,
they are rewarded for their exceptional work as a group. Every time they are good a marble goes
into their jar. Marbles can be
taken away from the jar when problems occur. When their jar is full the students will then vote on a
class reward. This is a great way
to enforce a positive group environment and cooperative learning!
Wow Tickets
Students will
have many opportunities during the day and week to earn wow tickets. Students can earn wow tickets for going
the extra mile, having the most group points and anything else spectacular that
they do. Every Friday or the end
of the week we will have a drawing to pick a prize from the treasure box. I will draw three to four students per
week.
