10. Discipline Plan *In our class, we use a traffic light chart to track our behavior throughout the day (green, yellow, and red). * Students can always move back to green throughout the day! - Depending on the students behavior throughout the day, that will determine what color they receive at the end of the day. Green= great choices throughout the day (following directions, completing classwork, being kind) Yellow= Needed 3 reminders (off task, not following the directions, not being kind to others) Red= Not making great choices (didn t complete classwork, not following school/classroom rules, not working well with others, etc.) * A phone call home will be made. - Parents need to sign the chart in their red folder every night. - This will begin October 4th.

12. Units We Are Readers! - Readers will learn the structures and procedures of Reader's Workshop. Students will begin reading from book bins and learn how to share, retell, and talk about books that they have read independently and with a partner. Launching the Writing Workshop! - This unit introduces the students to the world of writing. Routines and procedures for Writer's Workshop are introduced and students quickly identify themselves as authors and illustrators. Students will get to write both narrative (stories) and informational writing in this unit. Math: Topic 1: Numbers 1-5 - We will learn to read, write, identify and represent numbers 1-5 Social Studies: Citizenship, community and rules

13. Homework ** Homework will begin on October 4th. You will get the packet on Monday and the students need to return it to me on Friday. Reading 15 minutes every night and color in the reading log. Read to your child I suggest: reading books with patterns (Example: I see the _______. ) Encourage "reading" (even if they can t read, and can only tell the story through the pictures or their memory). 1-2 math worksheets

14. Birthdays - If you would like to bring in something for you re a birthday, it must be brought by your child in the morning, or dropped off to the receptionist before their lunch period at 11:10. Birthday parties: - School policy is that students must invite EVERYONE in the class to their birthday party OR all the girls/all the boys. If this is not the case, please handle invitations outside of school. - In the packet I handed out, I provided a class list of names.
