  34. Classroom Plan Room 109 students and teachers have developed the following plan to help us achieve our hopes and dreams for 1st grade.

  35. What kind of classroom do we want to have?

  36. Students’ Jobs • Keep a clean and organized classroom and school by keeping your desks clean and organized, and keeping room 109 clean and organized, and keeping the hallway clean. Put garbage in the garbage in the garbage can. • Recycle paper. • Keep the earth clean and our playground. • Put stuff where it belongs. • Keep room 109 safe • Be the star student • Listen to the teacher • Listen to the students • Work at desks • Do our homework at home • Have a healthy classroom by washing hands, having a healthy snack, eating our lunches • Talk when it's a talking time and let people finish their thinking, talking and working

  37. Teachers’ Jobs • Teach • Give kids homework • Let kids go to the bathroom • Keep a clean and organized classroom and school • Keep room 109 safe • Tell who the star student will be • Listen to the students • Make sure the kids are okay.

  38. Above the Line, Below the Line

  39. How to fix a “Below the Line” choice… • Give a nice picture • Apologize; Say, “I’m sorry.” • Play with them • Help them • Write a sorry note • Draw an “I’m sorry” picture • Say, “Are you okay?” • Take a break • CONSEQUENCE • MAKE A FIX-IT PLAN!

  40. Behavior Management • Room 109 will be a classroom that is safe for hearts, minds and bodies. • Behavior management in Room 109 is student centered. Students decide how they would like to make their classroom a good place to learn and make a plan for a classroom that is safe for hearts, minds and bodies. •  From time to time, however, I must manage behavior to maintain a an atmosphere that is safe for learning. The message is… It is not you I don’t like, it is your choice.

  41. Four Behavior Management Components 1. Positive reinforcement Children will be positively reinforced for appropriate choices and behavior using verbal praise, class incentives and individual incentives. 2. Constructive redirection Children who make poor choices will be positively guided towards more positive choices and behaviors using verbal redirection as well as student and teacher selected consequences. Often, Room 109 students will write or draw a “Fix-it” plan to decide on the appropriate consequences of their actions. The “Fix-it” plan will be sent home for children to discuss with their families. “Fix-it” plans should also be signed and returned to school. 3. Conferencing Conferencing, discussions held between teacher, students, and parents, will be used consistently in combination with or independently of the other components. 4. Logical consequences Anytime a consequence is given by the teacher for a student’s poor choice it will be logically related to the student’s behavior. For example, if a student is disruptive during a quiet working time, she would be moved to a work area where her choices would not disrupt anyone else, such as, the teachers table. *Any student who is excessively disruptive of the learning of other students will be immediately removed from the classroom.

  42. Homework • Extension of the classroom learning • All children will not have the same homework • Homework should not be the cause of parent/child negativity • Daily homework assignments will be recorded by your student in her or his B.E.E. Binder

  43. B.E.E. Binder (Bring Everything Everyday) The B.E.E. Notebook is a tool I am asking Room 109 families and students to use everyday. I believe that the primary grades (K-2) are foundational years for developing “school organization” techniques. In other words, these are the years when students really begin to develop the strategies for keeping track of homework or tests, maintaining a schedule, managing time and many of the other organizational skills demanded throughout the rest of their school years. The B.E.E. Notebook will contain several sections for keeping track of items sent to and from school. Please check, read and sign your child’s B.E.E. Binder Agenda every evening.

  44. Reading Log Students will be receiving a reading log in late September or early October. A reading log is a way for students to keep track of the number of minutes they read each night with the help of an adult. Our class goal will be for each student to read or be read to at least 20 minutes each day, including weekends. Of course reading for pleasure is our goal however, ALL READING COUNTS! Parents reading to children, children reading independently, older siblings reading to children, reading books, reading magazines, reading homework, reading the comics in the Sunday newspaper, reading a restaurant menu, approximated reading (pretend reading or telling the story using the pictures) are all good reading behaviors that lead to lifelong reading. If you feel your child needs a modified goal due to a reading disability, please contact me, however, 20 minutes per night is the minimum that is recommended by leading children's literacy research. If your child reaches the goal he should not stop reading! Encourage your student to continue reading and see how many minutes she can accumulate over the month. Students in previous years have read over 1,000 minutes during a single month.

  45. Math Log Students will bring home several math games during the school year. Many require the help and participation of an adult. Initially directions and game materials will be sent with the student. Please keep all game materials and directions so that they won't have to be sent home again. A great place to keep game materials is in the B.E.E. Binder. After students play a game at home for homework, they will be asked to keep track of their games on a "Math Log.” Keep track of the math games you play at home with your family. Our Room 109 Goal is to play one math game each night (even Saturdays and Sundays). We will have a monthly goal for students to meet or surpass. We will work toward a class goal for math logs and decide on a reward for reaching that goal as a class. If students have other math homework for the night you can count it as one game on your math log. Below are some guidelines for our Room 109 Math Log: • If you reach your monthly goal, DON’T STOP, keep recording so we can see how many math games you played this month. • If you can’t find your number cards for playing math games, you can always use a regular deck of playing cards. • You don’t always have to play with a grown-up. A big brother, sister, or any other person can play with you and initial the Math Log. • FOR GROWN-UPS: The more children play a mathematical game the more practice they get with important computational and mathematical reasoning skills so...repetition is encouraged! If you feel your child needs a modified goal please contact me. Please sign the Math Log and the end of the month.

  46. Family Participation Opportunities • Classroom Volunteering – see monthly calendar for sign-up • “Surprise Readers” – one per week, please sign-up • Rocket Math – Home Opportunity • Watch the newsletter for more opportunities
