I hope you had a great weekend!  The weather was absolutely beautiful and I hope you had some time to enjoy it!

I just wanted to remind you that we are still practicing the classroom expectations.  Starting next Monday, October 3, we will continue to circle the date with the color we are on at the end of the day, but it will count now.  This means that practice time is finished.  If your child makes great choices, they will stay on green or clip up, yeah!  I know there is not a single child or adult that is perfect so that is for the color blue. I understand that a children can make a mistake.  If they make one mistake, they will clip down to blue.  They can clip down to blue every single day and still go to the party.  However, if your child chooses to make a bad choice or several mistakes they will clip down every time they make a mistake and their behavior will go towards the party at the end of the month.  If your child chooses to clip down to yellow 4 times, has one orange, or one red in the month, they will not be able to attend the school-wide party at the end of the month.    Instead of going to the party, we will review the classroom expectations.

As a parent, a great way to see how your child is behaving in class is to check their behavior chart every night.  At the end of every day, I ask them to circle the date with the color they are on.  If they were not paying attention and they did not circle it, ask them what color they were on and have them circle it with you.  I do record the colors at the end of the day so I have a record, too.

Also, at the end of each week, please sign the box provided.  I will check the behavior charts on Monday to see if they have shown you their chart and that you have signed it.  If you did not sign, your child will clip down to blue because they were not being responsible.  They know they must show you their behavior chart every day and get it signed.  

Looking forward to a great week!
