Helper of the Day
I choose my STAR helper of the day by going in numerical order through our class list. The student will help with several things throughout the day: line leader, running important errands and conducting math meeting for that day!

Classroom Management
Each child has a clip on the Clip Chart Every child begins their day on green. Throughout the course of the day all
students will have opportunities to move up on the clip chart.
Every time a warning is given they will move down.
You will know what kind of day your child had at school by checking the calendar in their daily folder.

Positive Behavior Reinforcement
I believe in positive reinforcement to guide students in learning.
I always look for the positive in behavior management.
I believe in having clear expectations for the students.

We use a bucket for “bucket filling.” On completion of filling our bucket we will
have a whole groups reward (pajama party, extra recess, popsicles etc)
