Mission+Statement

==== I understand that your child comes to fourth grade with unique experiences, interests and learning styles. My goal is to truly know your child well and use this knowledge to guide, support and motivate him or her. Good teaching requires continual professional development, personal reflection and collaboration. I value parent involvement at every level and encourage you to partner with us to give your child the most powerful and joyous learning experience possible. ====

==== **I** have high expectations that the students in our room will achieve academically to their fullest potential and contribute in a positive manner. The following is a condensed version of the rules the children came up with on the first days of school. ====


 * ==== Comply with teacher instructions. ====
 * ==== Show Respect ====
 * ==== Be Safe ====
 * Work Quietly

We will be using the “**Fry Your Best**” system to help reinforce the above behaviors. This is how it works: Each day the student begins with four French fries. The fries are removed for each infraction. 1 fry = verbal warning 2 fries = 10 min. time out 3 fries = lose a recess 4 fries = Phone call to parent
 * __"Fry" Your Best Behavior System__**

__**Rewards for demonstrating personal responsiblilty**__ To earn daily chances to win the weekly BINGO raffle, your child must meet the following criteria: completed and returned nightly homework, in addition to a parent signature in the agenda notebook, or they must have kept all four french fries for that day. For example, if you child completed and returned their homework, their agenda notebook was signed and they kept all four french fries for good behavior, then they would be able to sign the BINGO chart twice that day.
