A classroom community that feels like family is super important to me. I start from day one, encouraging the students to be responsible in their actions for our classroom, and to look out for each other. Priority number one is that your child feels safe and important at school each day. Once that is in place, learning can happen naturally and smoothly.
JobsEach student will have a weekly job to help our classroom run smoothly. I take the jobs seriously, and encourage the students to do so also.

TeamworkStudents will be part of a "Table Team" where they are able to earn points by working well as a team, and keeping their work area neat and clean. Tables with the most points can earn small treats, like Dragon Dollars, or a treat box visit. The teams will change periodically throughout the year.

PartnershipsI will assign each student a partner who will be their "go to" person if they have a question or need help: "Where do I put my finished work?" or "Where do I find tissue?" There partners will also change from time to time.
