  7. Expectations (School & Class) Get in G.E.A.R. at AJ Whittenberg! Give your best every dayExercise smart problem solvingAct responsiblyRespect yourself and othersThird Grade Classroom Expectations I am a firm believer that students need to make decisions about their behavior and take responsibility for their choices.  I strive for a positive learning environment in the classroom, where children have an opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed.  I expect the students to follow the rules and respect me and each other at all times. 1.   Please treat me with the same respect I treat you. 2.   Feel free to do anything that doesn’t cause a problem for anyone else. 3.   If you cause a problem, I will ask you to solve it. 4.   If you can’t solve the problem, or choose not to, I will do something. 5.   What I do will depend on the special person and the special situation.

  8. 3rd Grade Behavior System: Starting the first week of school, students will be actively involved in a year-long economy unit in which they earn credits and debits for their behavior. The activity is cross-curricular since students are learning major economic concepts, as well as using math skills on a daily basis. Credits are earned for following rules, showing good character, putting extra effort into school work, and being responsible. Debits are given to students when they break classroom expectations in our community of learners. At the end of each pay period, students add up their credits and subtract their debits to calculate their weekly total. The students will keep track of their “money” using a check book registry. Since credit and debits will be earned/lost daily, parents MUST initial beside the date in the registry book. This way, parents will be informed daily on their student’s choices. Rewards: *Students may purchase Classroom Coupons or visit the Classroom Store using their money earned. We will be using the following system: Outstanding- Outstanding Day (Credit $3.00) A.J. Pride-Way to go! (Credit $2.00) Ready to Learn- Ready to Learn (Credit $1.00) Slow Down –Make better choices (no debit or credit) Teacher choice- Teacher will choose. (debit $1.00) Parent Contact- Parent Contact (debit $2.00) “Think Sheet”/phone call/conference Students will start out with $5.00 at the beginning of the school year.

  9. Homework Reading Log: Students are expected to read Monday through Friday. 3rd grade uses the same Reading Log as the Library Reading Log. Spelling Menu: Menus go home on Monday. Students will turn in Spelling Menu HW on Friday. Spelling words and word wall words are tested on Friday. Word wall words will be tested through dictation sentences. All spelling HW will need to be completed in the Spelling HW Journals. Math: Math Sheet that will review previous material taught. Projects: Projects will be send home on the computer once they go home and will be asked to work on a certain skill.
