Green Meadows and Reminders

Our field trip to Green Meadows Farm is coming up and the children are all so excited!  

If you did not send in money to chaperone, you can still go!  Please just let me know ahead of time so that I can plan chaperone groups.  You provide your own transportation to the farm and then just pay at the gate.  If you have any questions about this, let me know.

If you click on the picture below, you can find more information about the farm.

Fall Festival party letters have gone out.  Our room parent, Hilary, has already contact parents via SignUp Genius with ways to volunteer and help out with the fun.  If you need her contact information, please let me know.  Siblings are not allowed to attend the parties due to school policy. 

 Don't forget that our Media Center/Library days are every Friday.  Please make sure that your child returns his/her book to school on this day.  A good place to keep it is in your child's backpack so that it is not lost or forgotten.  Thank you for having your child show one of the Centerville 3 R's: Responsibility.  

Mondays and Tuesdays are our P.E. days.  Please make sure that your child is wearing running shoes to school on this day.  Mr.  Black, our P.E. teacher thanks you for your support.

Behavior

Welcome to Mrs. Roth's class where all of our children are

Out of This World!

 

Above is a picture of the behavior system I use in my classroom. It supports positive behavior and good choices. 

 

All of the children start off at green (Ready to Blast Off). If a child is making good choices, he/she can move his/her clip up to light blue (Shining Star).  If a child continues to make good choices, he/she can move up to dark blue (Out of This World).  If a child is making poor choices, he/she move down to yellow (Reaching TOWARD the Stars), which is a warning.  If  he/she is continuing to make poor choices, the next stop is orange (Emergency Landing).  This is where a child will need to fill out a Problem Solving form with the teacher and reflect about the good choices that he/she should have been making and will model next time.  The bottom is red (More Training Needed, Phone Call Home).  This is where I call home or sometimes will have the child with me to discuss his/her choices and situation with his/her guardian.  A child can move up and down throughout the school day, so a child does not always automatically stay on yellow.  Also, if a child makes a very poor choice such as hitting, etc. a child may automatically move to orange or red. 

 

This system is put in place so that it is a positive manner to reinforce behavior.  It also is anonymous because there are numbers on the clips, not student names.  The children have to memorize his/her number (I help the children out with this at the beginning) and move that number up or down the rocket ship.
