Both the AM and the PM classess are working towards a movie/pajama day. In the class we have "Wow points". These are points that the class will recieve when we do something great as a whole. For example, we are all working very hard and quietly on an assignment, we get complimented by another teacher (PE teacher says we all had great behavior today), or I see students working well together and helping each other out. Basically, we earn a wow point everything the entire class is showing good classroom citizenship. Each time the class recieves 10 wow points we get a prize. Prizes have included a treat from the teacher, extra choice time, sidewalk chalking outside, and an extra recess. Since the Frozen movie came out, many students have expressed to me how much they LOVE the movie. I have decided that as an extra special treat, this time I will allow a pajama day and we will watch Frozen once the class earns 10 wow points. I really like this system because it holds students accountable for their actions. It takes the whole class to earn a wow point and that it something they become quite proud of when it is earned. Look for further information as to when we will be celebrating our 10 wow points, and encourage your child to make great choices at school so we can earn them even faster! (This does not replace our color behavior chart- that is individual, this is more whole group). Happy Friday!
