Classroom Management
The first week of school, we will work on establishing a collaborative classroom. I feel it is important to create an atmosphere of safety, trust, and respect. We will work hard to build a sense of community and emphasize the idea of teamwork. I am a firm believer that the best learning takes place in this type of environment. I look forward to working together in order to make this a very successful school year for your child (academically, socially, and emotionally).
Every week there will be a new TEAM CAPTAIN for each pod of desks. They will be responsible for specific jobs such as collecting papers, passing out team materials, and making sure the team is working together to keep their area clean and organized.
A new Teacher's Helper is chosen everyday. The teacher's helper takes the lunch count to the cafeteria, carries recess equipment out, and helps Ms. Wade with other tasks during the day.
All students are responsible for helping to keep our classroom running smoothly so we can have the best possible learning environment for all students!

Behavior Management
Positive Incentives:
Team Points
Class Points (P.L.A.I.N.S. school wide program)
Verbal Praise
Cheetah Paw Punch Card
Consequences
All fifth grade students have a conduct folder that will go home weekly. A check will be given in the conduct folder for innapropriate behaviors and work habits.
It is very important for fifth graders to be responsible for their work. Students who do not finish classwork or homework will go to "working lunch" in the library during his/her lunch period in order to complete the missing assignments.

Please put money for lunch in a sealed envelope with your child’s name and my name.
Snack will be in the morning. Please provide a healthy snack for your child each day that they can open independently.

Agenda
The agenda is a great communication tool. Your child will write weekly spelling words and a daily homework in the agenda. I may also write notes to you and you may communicate small notes to me as well. It is important to read and sign the agenda daily. Please do not send transportation changes in the agenda.
Absences
If your child is absent due to a sickness, please send a note when he/she returns in order for the absence to be excused. Make-up work for the day(s) missed will be sent home. It is to your child's benefit to make-up missed work.
Birthdays
As noted in the school handbook, birthday treats are to be passed out during lunch time. Please do not send birthday invitations for your child to pass out. This helps to avoid hurt feelings among classmates.
