Dear Parents,

In order to help provide my students with an excellent educational climate all students are expected to behave in an acceptable manner. I believe that success in life depends on self-discipline. In our classroom we will have a plan to encourage this.

2. Our second reward system is called The Fuzzy Wuzzy Ball System.  This is a group effort.  All teams have their basket in which different colored Fuzzy Wuzzy balls are put in depending on their group effort throughout the day.  They can work together too make sure they are following directions and helping each other out, or they can penalize their group as well.  At the end of the week, which ever team has the most "Fuzzies" wins and will have lunch with Ms. Figgy.
