Snack Policy
In room 120 we have snack around 10am. I ask that you pack your child a DRY snack- something that can't spill and make a mess. We often have "working snack breaks" where the students are working while eating so it really makes things much easier if their snack is not something that can spill. Also, please put your child's snack in a separate container labeled with their name. Thank you!
Behavior Management Plan
DiSimoni Dollars
Our classroom economy teaches children about being accountable for their actions. DiSimoni Dollars are fake dollar bills that I have created and your child can earn them for doing good deeds, as well as lose them if they misbehave. They can save up to buy mostly non-tangible prizes!
Good Teamwork Paper Chain
Our paper chain teaches children about working together. This chain is in the corner of my room and when it hits the floor, we will get a whole class prize!
Trailblazers
If anyone in the school catches your child being extra awesome, they can earn a Trailblazer ticket. They will then have to go upstairs to the main office where they get a certificate, draw a number, and write their name on a giant 100x200 square board. When one of the rows on the board fills up, all students in that row get a very special prize and the board is cleared and it starts over.
Conduct Referrals
Students can get conduct referrals for breaking a school rule. Hitting or cursing are automatic conduct referrals.

If you choose to send birthday invitations to school to be distributed by your child, please be mindful our school-wide policy:

- Having "Happy Birthday" sung during snack break
- A birthday certificate from me as well as a small gift
- A family member can come in to read a book for their birthday! Contact me via email about this.
