Students must follow the Whiteside Handbook! This can be found inside your agenda.
Please review the PBIS for 4th grade! I will review this with my students and send a copy home for parents to sign the first week of school.
Incentives
Fun Friday Recess:
A bonus recess will be given each week. Students will not participate if they received 3 violations within the scheduled grading period. The class can lose time off of Fun Friday for misbehavior.
Snack Time:
Each day after specials we have a “Working Snack Time”. Students are allowed to bring a HEALTHY snack to school to keep at their desk. As we begin our work on Language Arts, students are allowed to enjoy this snack. (Students do not have to bring a snack. The teacher will not provide snacks for the students). Students may also bring a water bottle to the classroom.
Lippert's Legal Tender:
How do you earn these dollars?
Students are rewarded with dollars. Each day the student agenda will be checked for a parent signature and homework will be collected first thing in the morning. The students receive 1 dollar for having their homework complteted and the agenda signed. Students can also earn dollars for appropriate behavior like walking quietly in the hallway, being helpful to another student, receiving a compliment from another teacher, etc. Students will be able to use these dollars to purchase items from my treasure box throughout the school year.
Can they be taken away?
Students can lose their dollars as well for various reasons. Examples: Talking, excessive restroom/drink breaks, sharpening pencils during instruction, etc.
Good News Parties:
Students with fewer than 9 violations can attend. This party is a privilege for students who have followed the rules. If a student has 9 or more violations, or has been assigned a lunch detention, he/she remain in the classroom during the Good News Party.
