FAQFrequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
11:00 a.m. Can I eat lunch with my child? Yes! Please just sign in at the office and get a visitor's pass first. What is my child's daily folder? This is a folder that your child will use and bring back to school EACH DAY! It will contain homework assignments, reading stories, and any notes/information to go home. It has a take home side and a sign and return side. It also has your child's lunch number included. This is where you will send any notes and/or lunch money to me. Your child's behavior calendar is also included with his/her conduct grade for each day. What is my child's graded papers folder? This folder will contain weekly graded papers and will be sent home every Tuesday along with a signature sheet. Please look at your child's graded papers, discuss them with him/her, and then return them along with your signature on the signature sheet back into the folder on Wednesday. Your signature indicates that you have seen your child's grades and that you have reviewed the information with him/her. This folder will be kept at school except when it is sent home with your child on Tuesdays. Home projects are non-graded assignments that I send home with your child to complete as a family. They are often based around a theme in which we are learning, a special event, and/or an upcoming holiday. These projects are given with plenty of time to complete at home and then the students bring them in to share with their classmates. They are often displayed in the classroom and/or hallway and they are just a fun way to get the family more involved in the learning of each student. I have had lots of positive feedback from previous classes that have done these projects...I think you will enjoy them, too! This is our student of the week! Since Bonne Ecole is having a Louisiana theme this school year, our class is "Fleur"-ishing in First Grade (fleur de lis). Each week I will choose a student who shows good character to be our Grand Marshal. That student will get to decorate a page in our class scrapbook as well as complete special daily tasks for the entire week that he/she is the Grand Marshal. A note will be sent home the week prior to your child being the student of the week so that he/she will be ready to lead our learning parade! How does our classroom behavior plan work? In my classroom, I have a behavior board where each child in my class has a magnet with their corresponding number on it. Each student begins every day with his/her handprint on E. If a student's behavior is not in accordance with our classroom rules that we created together, that child will be given a verbal warning. If the student's behavior still does not improve after the verbal warning has been given, then the child will move their handprint down to the next lower letter (ex: E will move to E-, E- will then move down to S.) If the student has a major improvement in his/her behavior, the child will have the opportunity to move his/her handprint back up to the next higher level. The only exception to this rule is that once a student has moved from E for the day, he/she can not move back up to E because this letter is reserved for those students who chose to do the right thing without being reprimanded. The highest letter that this child could possibly be moved back up to would be E-. When we are packing up our folders at the end of each day, the student will write his/her behavior grade in their calendar for that date. I will check each student's folder before they pack up to make sure that he/she writes the correct behavior letter. Please be sure that you check your child's calendar each night to see his/her behavior grade and discuss their day with them. Also, if your child earns an S- or an N as his/her behavior grade for the day, I will need your signature on that date of the calendar next to his/her behavior grade. This will let me know that you have seen and discussed your child's behavior with him/her. |
