Parent-teacher conferences are coming up during the month of October. If you are interested in having a conference with me about your child's progress, please send me a quick email at [email protected]. I prefer to meet with you and the homeroom teacher to keep communication lines open between all the areas of your child's education so please let me know when your conference is scheduled, and I will try to attend. If that is not possible, I will make other arrangements to meet with you at a more convenient time. This year to reward classes with excellent ROAR behavior in my class, every day classes each start the day with 5 stars on the board. They can lose and gain back stars based on good choices, hard work, and self-control during class. Every time a class earns a 100 stars, they earn a 1/2 hour of game time the next day. As added incentive, 4th and 5th grade math students have recently been competing to see who could reach 100 stars first. Both classes earned 100 for the first time on Monday so their extra prize was a homework pass to be used at any point during the school year. In addition to our group goal of 100 stars, I also use the Werner individual rewards of paw stickers and paw tickets for those that go over and above expectations related to respect, own your own behavior, attitude, and responsibility. And now for a little fun video break... both 4th and 5th grade are working on units related to graphing and determining important landmarks and measures of central tendency (mean, median.) I am a music lover and who doesn't like a catchy tune that teaches too. (Mr. C has a couple of other videos that kids love too on other math concepts.) Enjoy a taste of a silly video that the kids love!
