Dear parents,
I would like to welcome you to our second grade class, my name is Mrs. Hachem. I am pleased to be working with you and your child this school year. The education of your child is very important to me. I have high expectations for all my students both academically and socially. I hope we will have an enjoyable and successful year together. I would like to explain few things about our classroom rules and procedures.
Classroom Rules:
These rules will be in effect at all times:
- Follow all directions the first time.
- Raise your hand and wait to be called on.
- Keep hands, feet, and all objects to yourself.
- Listen when others are speaking.
- Respect school property and other.
Behavior Management Clip Chart:
We have a set up color coded clip chart. The classroom’s behavior chart is a positive reward system to reinforce good behavior. Your child will monitor his own behavior by receiving a happy/sad face on that day that I am going to stamp in his/her planner. Please make sure you are reviewing your child planner everyday and sign it.
Red: Outstanding Orange: Great Job Yellow: Good Day Green: Ready to Learn
Purple: Think About It Pink: Teacher’s Choice Light Green: Parent’s Contact
Reward: Students who choose to follow the rules all week will earn a chance to choose a small prize from the treasure box or receive a reward coupon.
Academic and Personal Goals:
Each student will have academic and personal goals to expand his/her learning and social skills. Everyday your child will take home the reading bag that includes books and a notebook. In the notebook your child will write academic, reading goal and personal goals. Please talk to your child about his/her goals and discuss how he/she will work to achieve these goals.
Homework policy:
- Homework will be assigned Monday through Thursday. Your child will have a homework folder to store notes, letters, or homework. Your child will have a planner for daily homework and spelling list. Please look at your child planner everyday and sign it.
- Students will have a SPELLING TEST every week. Please help your child study for his/her spelling test which will occur every Friday.
