  2. Dismissal • 3rd grade dismisses out the front door. We are required to see a parent at this time in order to dismiss your child. • Please write down how your child will be dismissed, even if you already sent in a note. • If your child is getting picked up by someone other than a parent who is at the front entrance or at a side door, write this down too.

  3. Dismissal (cont.) • If there are any changes, please write me a note. I am not allowed to send children home with other adults if they simply tell me they are going home with them. • PLEASE SIGN THIS DISMISSAL SHEET AND DATE NO MATTER WHAT! • HAND THIS IN BEFORE LEAVING PLEASE

  8. Classroom Rules • As a class we contributed rules that we felt were appropriate. • Then we looked at what rules could be combined, omitted or should definitely be kept. • We narrowed it down to between 5-8 rules and flipped the wording to be positive. • Then we discussed what each rule looks like and sounds like. • The students have signed the bottom because the rules are a contract. They know that these are the expectations set.

  9. Homework Expectations • Each child is responsible for writing down their own HW from the board and packing their own backpack. • At this point in the year, I will check their agendas and initial them. Over time, students will do partner checks. • Parents – please sign their agendas each night • Students are responsible for using their agenda as a checklist to bring home all of the materials needed. • HW should take about 30-40 minutes to complete. • HW should be completed independently; if there is an issue, please send in a note attached to the HW explaining the issue . • Students are required to read for 20 minutes each day, Thursday – Sunday, and record the info. on a reading log • Students are also expected to complete the writing activity on the back of the reading log.

  10. Homework Policy • HW is checked daily by the teacher and the student can receive a check plus (100 points), check (90 points) or check minus (80 points)). • If a student does not have their HW complete, didn’t do it, or forgets it at home, and doesn’t have a parent note: • the student is expected to fill out a HW excuse form, • a parent is expected to sign and date the HW excuse, • the student is expected to return the signed HW excuse the next day to the teacher along with the completed HW. • for every day that the HW is late, students will lose 10 points on that particular assignment • 3 missed HW = phone call home • 5 missed HW = parent/ teacher conference • Timely HW completion will be factored into final grades.

  11. Absence and HW Policy • If your child is absent, the HW they missed is due the next school day, unless the teacher says otherwise or there is a parent note. • If you want to pick up their HW, please send me an email ASAP. Pick up their HW in the Main Office at the end of the day. • If you would like us to send their HW home with a sibling, please send me an email indicating their sibling’s name, grade, and teacher.

  12. Current Event • Starting in the 2nd marking period, students will be taught the importance of knowing about current events, as well as how to extract important information from a current event, write, and speak about it. • 2 students will be selected each week to present about a current event. • Students are expected to complete the current event for homework.

Your child can have 2 bottles if needed. They are aware of the times of day that they can refill the bottle at the sink.

  16. Birthdays • We do not celebrate birthdays with food, but we can do a class craft or a simple activity (stories, foam crafts, • Please contact me prior to your child’s birthday to make these arrangements. • If your child has a summer birthday, please contact me in late May so we are sure to find a time to celebrate prior to the end of the school year.

  17. Individual Behaviors • Students monitor their behavior using the clip chart located in the front of the room. • Students are expected to follow the classroom rules on a daily basis. • A student can move up and down the chart depending on his or her behavior that day. • At the bottom of each child’s agenda for that particular day, the student will write the name of the color, or color in the last box, to indicate what color he / she ended the day on.

Owl Tickets or Stars • If a particular student is exceeding the teacher’s expectations (behaviorally and/or academically), did a random act of kindness, etc., the student will be rewarded with an owl ticket or star. • Students are responsible for keeping these tickets, and on their designated day, students can exchange the tickets or stars for a reward.

  19. Classroom Behavior – 10 in a row • When the class is following the classroom rules, exceeding the teacher’s expectations or is complimented by another teacher, a student will be chosen to select a number from the envelope at the bottom of the 100 number grid. • The student will color in the selected number on the 100 number grid. • When there are 10 numbers colored in a row, the class will have earned a class reward .
