Rewards & Incentives
As a teacher, I believe strongly in positive
reinforcement. I constantly reward
students for coming to school prepared
and ready to learn. I provide many
opportunities for students to earn
incentives such as;
• Purple raffle tickets
• Timberwolf tickets
• Treats
• Verbal praise
• Recognition at assemblies
Consequences

Classroom Behavior Notification
Color-coded system
 Tickets to be filled out by students
 Stapled to progress reports and sent home
weekly
 Please ask for them on Fridays, sign and
return them by Monday

Consequences


If more than 6 tickets are pulled
within the 6 week behavior tracking
period, a student will not participate
in the 5th Grade Behavior Celebration.
Behavior Contract- In the spring, all
students will be on a behavior contract
using a point system. They must
maintain a certain amount of points
to attend the Scandia field trip as well
as participate in other end of the year
activities. Details will be handed out at
a later time.
Homework




I want your child to be well-rounded. It is not
my intention to give your child a lot of
homework. Please let me know if they are
spending more than an hour per night.
Students will be given a Homework Reminder
at the beginning of the week. It is their
responsibility to record the assignments on a
nightly basis and complete the work as
needed.
Please ensure your child is reading every
night and initial the Homework Reminder.
Go to my teacher website regularly for
homework assignments and much more!
