Hello KA Parents,
Wow, I can’t believe we have been in school for over a week! We have been so busy in kindergarten, learning all about our classroom and how to work together in a group. The students have been doing a great job remembering all of the new routines that come with being at school all day. It can be a big change, and they are transitioning beautifully! I am so proud of our class!
We have learned our class promise, which we recite every morning. “We are children of God. We promise to always do our best, be kind to others, and follow all class rules.” We have been “practicing” our color-coded behavior chart this week, and will begin using it for real next week. If students break a class rule, they will be given a verbal warning, followed by a yellow warning card, and then a red stop card. If a student receives a red card, I will send a note home that parents will need to sign and discuss with their child. Serious and/or chronic behavior issues will be referred to Mrs. Scherger via the school-wide discipline policy (detention, etc.) Our class rules are:
1. Listen when someone is talking.
2. Raise your hand to speak.
3. Follow directions quickly and quietly.
4. Be safe. Be honest.
5. Respect others, respect yourself, and respect our school.
