In my classroom, I follow a love and logic scale. This means that I allow children to be responsible for their own actions and provide them with positive choices. When an expectation is not followed, I typcially reply with a positive, rather than negative statement. The positive statement usually reminds students of what they are expected to do. I find that telling students what you would like them to do is more effective than telling them to stop doing something else.

Albert

Who?

Alligator Albert is our class mascot! If your child meets all expectations, it might be their turn to be the STAR STUDENT (MVP). This student gets to take Al home for the weekend. :) We love seeing the pictures of Al with your family!

ClassDojo! This is one of my favorite programs we use in our classroom. It is a fun and interactive way to keep track of your child's behavior. Parents will receive an invitation to connect with our classroom CLASS DOJO account in the beginning of the year. This behavior system is spectacular! The students earn points for positive behavior and they will be working towards specific goals to earn rewards.

The best part about class dojo is that it is a completely on-line program. The students will become very proficient with our smartboard. I love technology and feel that it is an essential tool these students need. An even more exciting part about class dojo is that once you connect with our class you will get weekly reports on your child’s behavior, and can check on your child's progress daily! I am very excited about this program and am looking forward to utilizing it in our classroom.
