A Constant Struggle

As a whole our class is struggling with being safe, respectful and responsible. We are talking about this every day in class. Please talk to your kiddos about this at home as well. Expectations need to be followed. Starting tomorrow, I am going to be more strict when it comes to following rules and expectations. Clips will be moved on our color chart, and self-manager badges will be taken away from the kiddos that do not follow the rules and expectations. Every student in this class is very capable; I have seen it. Every student in this class, is smart, capable and caring. These are qualities that I want to see everyday. Also starting tomorrow we will have a morning meeting at 10:00 am where we talk about how to give compliments, how to solve conflicts, etc. From what I am seeing in class, we need to work on how to solve conflicts and how to speak with kindness. Sometimes things are said that the speaker doesn't even realize is hurtful, but another students feelings were hurt. In our meetings we will be talking about how it is important to think about what we say and how it could affect someone else. We will be "filling each others buckets" (giving compliments that raise self-esteem) with kind notes throughout the day, If you have a note that you think would fill your child's bucket please send it to school, and I will give it to them,
