Classroom Expectations:
In my classroom I set high expectations for
each of my students. Its essential that
students come into a positive learning
environment with confidence and a love for
learning. I encourage my students to be
respectful to others and take responsibility
for their own actions. Its important that all
students feel comfortable in their classroom
environment and have fun learning!
Students are expected to come to school with
a bright smile, a positive attitude, and an
eager young mind excited to learn!
Students will not only benefit their learning
experience but also enhance the energy of
those around them.
Classroom Incentives:
Rewards will be issued throughout the year
to SUPERSTAR STUDENTS and students who
keep earning positive points!
