High Expecations

We are halfway through the year and expectations are increasing. Homework is going to be more challenging as well. The most important expectation that our class is having a challenge with is behavior. I am phasing out the dot system that is regularly used in kindergarten, and continuing to use tickets as well as the positive affirmation worksheets. After a particularly challenging day on Tuesday our students received their first taste of second grade expectations yesterday. The day was very challenging for many students and many students will not be having recess until their affirmations are complete. A classroom with few behavior issues and distractions is a better learning environment for all.
