  4. Classroom Expectations Mission Statement: We will be kind to each other by showing respect, being honest, and listening, so that we can work hard and learn each day!  • Students are responsible for monitoring their own behavior throughout the day. • It will be communicated home in their planner using the calendar pages. • Positive choices are celebrated through praise, positive reinforcement, individual tickets, and class marbles. • Respect Contract

  5. How Do We Use Fix It Tickets In Our Classroom? Everyone makes a mistake sometimes. We all deserve a moment to take a break and fix our mistake. If a break doesn’t help and the behavior continues, a fix it ticket will help students reflect on their behavior. When a “fix-it” ticket is filled out, depending on severity, additional strategies will be implemented, such as a phone call home to discuss behavior.

  6. HOW TO FILL OUT A TICKET: Explain the mistake you made. List three things you will do to fix your mistake. Sign your name and bring the ticket to me.

  7. Goal Setting/ Leadership Notebooks • Setting goals and tracking progress has been linked to greater student achievement. • Students are setting goals in subject areas, tracking their own progress and celebrating success. This is shown in their Digital Leadership Notebooks. • Assessments to keep track of their goals will be kept in the notebook, shown in pictures.

Through out the year all fact fluency will be tracked using a tic-tac-toe board complete with your signature after each activity is done. We will move through all four operations. • Envision Math Homework/Practice page for the each lesson through out the topic will be sent home at the beginning of each new topic. These pages are optional but strongly encouraged. They may be kept home to use for review before the topic assessment. • They are also a great way for you to see what we are working on daily in class. • No homework on Fridays! 
