Frequently asked questions:
Q1.What type of discipline do you use in your classroom?
A1. I use a system that helps children make better choices. It is a three warning system known as the green, yellow, red stoplight system. The stoplight chart holds a stick for each student. If a student exhibits excellent behavior throughout the day, he/she will stay at green. If a student demonstrates inappropriate behavior, he/she will receive a verbal warning. If the behavior continues, he/she will be asked to move their stick to the yellon pocket. If the child continues to demonstrate inappropriate behavior, the student will move his/her stick to the red pocket and take five minutes of time away from the choice time. The child will then complete a behavior conference with the teacher. Some behaviors may result in an immediate change to yellow or red. Behaviors that warrant this type of action would be hitting another student or using language inappropriate for the classroom. In these situations, the teacher may also notify the parents with a note or a phone call that day. In the case of severe behaviors, the principal may also need to be notified. At the end of the week I send home a weekly folder on Friday that lets you know where your child was at all week. If the behavior was a build up of warnings you might only be notified by the Friday folder. If he/she remained at green the form will give that information. If for some reason your child ended up on all three colors on three different days I will tell you, your child was on green all week except Monday he/she was on yellow and Thursday he/she was on red. This way you know how your child is doing regarding behavior. Q2. How do you handle children with disabilities or students involved in special education? A2. If there is a student or child in my care with a disability I will do everything in my power to see that that child gets the care and attention he/she needs. I will schedule the IEP when it is needed and follow through with any occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy or any other service your child may need. If I suspect there is a student or child with a special need I will inform you the parent first and foremost to discuss what is going on. Then I will take the necessary measures to get interventions for the child. The most important thing to remember is that I will make sure your child is in the best hands. It is my job to make referrals and accommodations for your child. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have regarding your child/student.
Q3. Do you celebrate holidays, birthdays, or special occasions in your classroom?
