Multi-Age Classroom Procedures

TAKE HOME FOLDERS:
Your child has a St. John’s School Take Home Folder . 
Please check it every day so that you are aware of daily homework and classroom happenings.  Communication to and from school should be kept in the Take Home Folder and brought to and from school daily.

HOMEWORK: 
 Homework will be found every day on a Google Doc which you can access by clicking above on the word HOMEWORK.  Please practice hecking this every day, as some homework can change daily. 

CLASSROOM CLIMATE:  HAPPY CAMPER Behavior!!
Together as a class we will discuss what a positive learning environment looks like as well as how each of our actions directly impacts each other’s learning and the environment of the entire class. Together we will develop classroom rules that usually look something like this:
-Listen carefully.   
-Follow directions.
-Work quietly. Do not disturb others who are working.
-Show respect to others. Be kind with your words and actions.
-Show respect to school and personal property.
-Work and play safely.

Every student takes responsibility for their own behavior. Everyone begins each day with green, "Good Behavior" cards in a pocket chart. Students who forget to follow the rules must replace their green cards with yellow or red cards. 
       *Green cards mean "You're doing great!"
       *Yellow cards mean "Warning! Pay more attention to your behavior"!
       * Red cards means "You have a consequence"
Thank you in advance for your support at home. 

VOLUNTEERS:
There are many opportunities to volunteer in the classroom or at home for the classroom.  In my classroom, parent volunteer roles can take on a variety of looks.  You can provide support if a child needs extra help, be extra listening ears for students to practice oral reading, assist the teacher in copying, put up art projects, etc.

GIVING TREE:
There is a giving tree on our board with items listed that are needed in the classroom. Feel free to pick an item from the tree if you would like to donate something to our classroom.. 
There is also a page on this website that is updated whenever the needs arise. Please look for the Giving Tree page for a list of items that we always need. 
 
I thank you for partnering with me to make your child's Multi-Age year a SUPER success!!!
