Dear First Grade Families,
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend! The first graders had a great first full day of school!
Below are a few reminders for the upcoming week (please pay special attention to information regarding the clip/behavior chart):
- We have introduced the clip chart this week! This is our positive behavior management system that will help the first graders make good choices throughout the week. The colors are as follows:
- Purple (Outstanding Day!)
- Blue (Great Choices)
- Green (Ready to Learn)
- Yellow (Think About It)
- Orange (Make Better Choice)
- Red (Teacher Choice)
- Every child starts off the day on, “Ready to Learn” (green). Students can clip up for making good choices. Students may clip down for making poor choices in the classroom.
- Every day, students will come home with a behavior/homework chart. They will fill in the color they finished the day on in the classroom. Parents/guardians are asked to sign their behavior chart every day to ensure you are informed on your child’s progress. This will then be entered into Gradelink at the end of the week.**This will be explained in more depth at Back to School Night next week!!!**
- Because this is the first week back, your child is coming home with a filled in behavior chart. Parents/guardians are asked to sign the behavior chart every night. However, I am not entering Grades for the behavior chart until after Back to School night. In other words, this week is practice! Students are still encouraged to try their personal best each and every day in the classroom.
- Students should return their green homework folder to school every day WITH their signed behavior chart turned into the front, “return to school,” pocket. A bin will be placed outside the first grade classroom every morning for these folders. They should be placed in number order. This should be done before the students enter the classroom after morning assembly!!
- In addition, I will not be assigning homework until after Back to School Night. I hope you are enjoying your free evenings with your family!
As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. It has been such a joy teaching your children!
Warmly,
Ms. Lozano
