The "H" Brothers

Greetings Owl Families!

It was another successful week of learning in the Owl Room!  We are really starting to get into the role of being good role models and great first graders!  This week, we had the exciting opportunity to meet some new friends... The "H" Brothers!  Please take a look below at the poster we created that is up in our room as a reminder.  

Please let me know if you would like a copy of The "H" Brothers to have at home!

Clip Chart Explanation



During the first week of school, we have worked as a class to create a Class Promise that all students will be expected to follow on a daily basis.  

Student choices are being tracked using a behavior clip chart as shown below.  All students will begin every day on Green, which means that they are ready to learn.  Throughout the day, students will have the opportunity to move their clips up for positive choices and down for negative choices or not following the Class Promise.  Students always have the chance to move up or down, regardless of where they currently fall on the chart.  For example, if a student drops down twice to orange but turns around his/her behavior, he/she then has the chance to move back up to yellow, then green, and possibly above.

If a student gets to yellow, he/she will receive a verbal warning.  If a student drops down to orange, he/she will lose 5 minutes of their recess and may have to fill out a behavior reflection form.  If a student reaches red, parents will be contacted and further action may be taken.  Students will also be rewarded for reaching beyond the chart!

The color that your student landed on will be colored in their planner on a daily basis, so be sure to check their planners every day!


Thank you for your support!  As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
