  5. Behavior Plan Our goal is to have a classroom that reinforces positive behavior. Changing lightsBlue-awesome day Green-reminder of the rules Yellow-had to redirect on more than one occasion  Red-visit to Mrs. Webber  A letter of “SOAR” will be crossed out as a child earns yellow or red. If all of the letters in “SOAR” are crossed out at the end of the six weeks, the student will miss Eagles in Flight.

(no more than 4 yellows/reds and no discipline referrals issued in the six weeks period) • No more than 3 tardies

  7. Pick up The final bell rings at 2:45 pm. If you would like to pick up your child prior to 2:30 pm, you must go to the office and sign your child out. The office will then call the classroom and have the child sent to the office with his/her things. ** Please send a note with your child if their mode of transportation changes. If you forget to send a note, please call the office PRIOR TO 2:30**

  8. Snacks • Since the brain works better when fed frequently we have a morning snack. Snack time is around 9:30 a.m. Water is the only drink allowed. • Students are responsible for bringing their own snack • Snacks should be healthy • Remind your child they are NOT allowed to share snacks, especially with the risk of food allergies.

  11. Social Studies The “Big Idea” in social studies is, “Leaders share many qualities.” We will examine the impact of various historical figures by asking: • What many qualities do leaders share? • In what ways do leaders solve problems? • How do leaders shape communities? • What are the many ways to be a leader?
