  3. Recipe for SuccessClassroom Ideology • The classroom should be an inclusive environment where all children feel accepted & valued for who they are. • Children should be taught wholly – socially, emotionally, and academically.

  4. Sweet BehaviorClassroom Expectations • Learn responsibility by accurately copying their homework each day. • Bringing home their homework notebook, folder, and any materials needed for homework. • Returning all materials and completed homework the next day.

  5. Sweet BehaviorClass Rules • Respect Yourself • Be prepared, be honest, have a positive attitude, do your best, participate • Respect Others • Work quietly, listen, wait your turn, be understanding, be nice, stay on task • Respect Our School • Be safe, follow directions, pick up after yourself, follow school & classroom rules, raise your hand.

  6. Sweet BehaviorConsequences for Breaking the Rules • First Offense: warning • Second Offense: yellow slip & card change • Third Offense: another reason added to slip & card change • Fourth Offense: another reason added to slip & card change • Fifth Offense: lose card & conduct referral • Serious offense: see principal & conduct referral

Fresh Batch of Cookiesextra to the curriculum • Creative Writing • Social Studies/Science • Genius Hour: • “You can teach a student a lesson for a day, but if you can teach him/her to learn by creating curiosity, he/she will continue the learning process as long as he/she lives” – Clay P. Bedford

  16. Sweet IngredientsStudying is a Habit • If possible, please designate a quiet place for your child to study and to do homework. • Children should be encouraged to study a little every night. • Students who study for every test tend to be more successful because they have established good study habits.
