Our 2010-2011 Behavior Plan

Dear Parents,
In order to provide first grade students with the excellent educational climate that they deserve, I have developed the following Classroom Discipline Plan that will be in effect at all times. Each student will begin the day with a green card in their behavior pocket. If he/she chooses to break a rule: 1st time: yellow card - - Child receives a verbal warning. 2nd time: red card - - Child will lose 5 minutes at recess. 3rd time: blue card- - Child will lose 15 minutes of recess 4th time: card taken to the Office for a referral and parents called Severe Clause: Any child who causes bodily harm to another will be sent to the principal. There may be times when certain student actions will prompt other consequences.

The expectations of our students are as follows:

1. Be a good listener and pay attention.

2. Be a quite worker and be respectful.

3. Talk at appropriate times.

I hope that my students will be able to stay on green for the whole day. When each student receives their 10th  star (stays on green 10 times) we will have a class celebration.

A star means the student stayed on green all day. The day’s mark will be in the planner. Thank you for your support.

Dear Parent,

Now it's easier than ever to find the right books for your child — and help us earn FREE books for our classroom library at the same time!

With new online ordering from Scholastic Book Clubs, you can choose from a much wider selection of books than in the printed flyer. Plus, you can send your orders directly to me online and use your credit card.

Best of all, our class earns a FREE book every time a parent places their order online.

It's so simple! Here's how it works:

 SIGN UP at www.Scholastic.com/bookclubs. On the parent page, click the "Don't have a User Name and Password?" link, then register for your own username and password. When prompted, enter the one-time Class Activation Code shown above. This code ensures that your order is sent to me.

 SELECT the books you'd like to order from over 500 titles available online...and take advantage of online-only specials and discounts.

 SEND your order to me online by the due date. Books will be delivered directly to our classroom, as always.

Of course, you can still order using the form from the printed flyer. But why not experience for yourself how convenient it is to order online?

Ordering online is fast, easy, and secure. Plus our whole class benefits thanks to the FREE books we'll earn with every parent online order.

Go to www.Scholastic.com/bookclubs now to get started.

Thank you,

Mrs. Weltzheimer
