I would like to welcome you to the third grade! My name is Ms. Danielle Spain, your child’s teacher. To familiarize you with our class rules, I have listed them below:
1. Follow teacher directions 4. Be respectful to others & property
2. Raise your hand to speak 5. Work quietly & do not disturb others
3. Keep hands, feet & objects to yourself
In our classroom, rules will be established and our expectations will be consistently made clear for student behavior and classroom routine. Students will be expected to use self control and become responsible for their behavior. The process will begin with teacher reminders when the rules are not followed. Students will be rewarded individually and as a group for displaying appropriate behavior. Incentives include: Terrific Kid, treat basket and positive notes home to parents to reinforce good behavior. I send home a behavior log in their homework folder every night. Please initial and send back every day. Our classroom will use a clip chart to monitor behavior. A clip chart is a great tool that allows students to be rewarded for positive behavior, while discouraging negative behavior. Each student has a clothespin, with his or her name on it. Everyone will start on green at the beginning of each day, and clips can be moved up and down throughout the day based on behavior.

Great Job

Ready To Learn
Every student will start the day on the Ready to Learn level. As the day goes on, clips can be moved up and down, based on behavior. This level isa good one to be on!
Think About It
A student will be moved to the Think About It level as a warning about his/her behavior, and a reminder to follow the rules.
Teacher's Choice
Students who continue to display poor behavior can move down to the Teacher’s Choice level. Here, the teacher can decide what action to take. Loss of recess or silent lunch might be an appropriate choice.

When a student moves to the Parent Contact level, the teacher will notify parents via note or phone call and loss of a Dojo Point. Students on this level may also lose recess time, etc.
