Safe and Healthy Learning Targets
The first and second graders are doing a great job following our safe and healthy expectations. We take several mask breaks throughout the day! Here are the expectations we have been working on.
Use hand sanitizer to keep our hands clean.
Wash our hands for 20 seconds often throughout the day.
Wear and store our masks correctly.
PBIS
(Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports)
Throughout the first six weeks of school, we take lots and lots of time to teach and practice our school expectations. Each child has a small PAWS chart on their desk/table. As I teach the expectations and students begin to practice them, I give them positive reinforcement several times throughout the day. I work hard to explicitly tell students what they are doing well and give them a stamp on their chart. When a child has filled up their chart, they place it in our classroom jar, when that is filled up we uncover a puzzle piece from our schoolwide puzzle in the hall. Our class has already take off a piece! Here is what the puzzle looks like now... As a class we love trying to figure out what our school wide reward will be!

Hopes and Dreams
We have begun working on our Hopes and Dreams for the school year. This year we read the book Quiet Hawk. Students learned the power to tune in (hush, look, listen, understand), and what persistence looks like. Studente each decorated their own feathers, and created a dreamcatcher. We wrote our some hopes and dreams down, and glued them onto our dreamcatchers! We will display our Hopes and Dreams in the classroom and use them to create our classroom rules.
