Upcoming Field Trips

9/24/2015

Hello Everyone,
We have two field trips coming up that I wanted to let people know about. The first is a trip to the Museum of Science on October 23rd. The second will be a trip to American Indian Heritage Day at the NC Museum of History on November 20th. Both are going to be fantastic, fun learning experiences. We will be walking to both and this is a great way for us to keep costs down (plus it's just fun to walk!). The cost for both trips will be 8 dollars total (for both trips). I will be needing 6 or more volunteers for each trip- the cost for chaperones is the same. Please let me know if you are interested. Permission slips will be coming home soon. Thanks for your interest!

A Word About Consequences...

9/8/2015

0 Comments

 
I want to start by saying I am a teacher who believes in POSITIVE reinforcement and that is the cornerstone of how I address behavioral and work habits concerns. I hand out FAR more positive consequences for good behavior than negative consequences for inappropriate behavior. Having said that, sometimes when expectations are not met there needs to be something in place to address that. Almost always it is a verbal redirection (or two) and then a....

CARD FLIP- You can think of this as a "formal" warning or redirection. These will be recorded in the behavior record in the Monday Folder.  If your child gets a card flipped every once in awhile...it is NO BIG DEAL. Mistakes will be made. If your child is getting multiple flips in a day or in a week , you and I will get together and work on what ever is going on with them. With each card flip a student gets in a day/week, there is a layer of consequences, but for every card flip, students will fill out a....

THINK SHEET- one of these must be filled out by the student, signed by me, sent home in the Weekly Folder and then signed by the parent. It is then returned the next day. These are filled out any time a student flips a card (behavioral problems) or doesn't do homework (work habits). As long as it is returned signed and filled out with the student taking responsibility for what happened- then that is it.....end of story....no more consequences...moving on! If they have a week where they are filling out more than 2 Think Sheets....there might be a consequence such as losing their daily allowance of Bonus Bucks ($10).

Mr. Chappell is looking for costume and prop donations for his drama classroom.  Anyone with old dress up clothes, toys or other simple props, may bring them to room 112 in the morning or after school.
