Classroom Community
Dear Parents,
Our Classroom houses a small society. Each student is a citizen who acts in accordance with expected standards of behavior. With this in mind, rewards are not given for expected behavior--just as society does not give rewards for behaving properly. Also, irresponsible behavior is seen as an opportunity for growth, rather than for punishment. This approach encourages students to exercise self-discipline through reflection and self-evaluation. Students learn to control their own behavior, rather than always relying on the teacher for control. The goal is for our classroom to be encouraging and conducive to learning at all times. In this way, children develop the positive attitudes and behavioral skills that are so necessary for successful lives. Sincerely, Ms. McFarlane [email protected] |
