In Ms. Harmsen's classroom it is important that student's take responsibility for their learning. We will have lots of FUN learning and exploring but in order to do so each student needs to come to school ready to learn and on their best behavior.
We will be using www.classdojo.com as our main reward and debit system. Each student will begin each day with 2 points. When a child shows good character, such as helping others, staying on task etc. they will be given a point. If a child breaks a classroom or school rule a point will be deducted. I will speak with each child about their loss of point and how they can improve their behavior in my class. This system allows students to monitor their behavior during the day. Parents are welcome to view their child's dojo account and see how they are doing during the day.
Each month the students will pick a whole class reward that they will work towards together. I will use class dojo to determine if the class has earned their reward. This month we have chosen a game party! More details to come...
As a class we have created our Classroom Contract:
We will...
1. Do our best!
2. Listen to Others.
3. Be kind and helpful.
4. Be respectful.
5. Work as a team.
6. Be responsible.
