Behavior Concerns
I will try to communicate problems in an effective way, so that you can help reinforce classroom behavior
at home. PLEASE contact me if you have concerns or need things clarified.

1, 2, 3 Magic Variation
This is a positive behavior activity. When I catch a child doing something well, they can put a block in the
fish bowl. When all 40 blocks are in the fish bowl, then the whole class does a special activity together. An
example would be an extra recess at the end of the day or a game.

Character of the Day
We are focusing on a different character trait each day: respect, responsibility, trustworthy, caring,
citizenship, and fairness. Each day at the end of the day I will pick a Character of the Day. This is the
person who did a great job of showing this behavior. They will bring home a slip of paper.
