REWARD!

Today was our FIRST REWARD! At 11:40, students who:
* had all their work completed and turned in
* had their Responsibility Card with 15 circles (or initials to equal 15 circles)
* no Referrals and Stop and Think 10s turned in the very next school day ...

... were invited to walk to Trimble Park and participate. (Pictures are courtesy of Ms. Prose):

Students who were not able to attend this reward, remained at school with Ms. Leom. Ms. Leom provided a quiet area for students to work. As students finished their missing work, they were invited to read quietly. Students who needed help or support, were able to work with Ms. Leom.

Please note, Ms. Leom went OVER and BEYOND the usual routine of communicating missing work to students. After announcing to the class that there would be a reward "soon" and to remember your homework and responsibility card EACH DAY, three times in the last week, Ms. Leom printed individual lists of missing work for every student. She also recorded missing work in planners for students. If you were not aware of missing work, please check School-View (contact Mrs. Roehl in the Elementary Office at 982-7301 to set up your account) or ask your fourth grader about their printed list of missing work. This is in addition to student planners. STUDENTS are also responsible (expected) to check off the work they complete and circle or highlight the work they need to do each night. Ms. Leom reminds students EVERY day as we fill out planners to "check off work you finish and circle or highlight homework", and she reminds individual students everyday as she signs planners. If your student is not taking advantage of these reminders, please talk to him or her. 

After today, all missing work turns to a "zero" in the grade book. We want all students to have a "clean start" for the next reward period. Ms. Leom will still accept missing Communications work until Friday (9/21)  for a grade. 

All students will be receiving a new responsibility card, a "clean slate", and a new opportunity to attend the next reward activity.

Congratulations to ALL our responsible students!!
