Earning Points

As you know, your child has the opportunity to earn 25 points a week, which breaks down to 5 points a day. There are five blocks during the school day in which your child may earn a point. First block: 0825-1000, Second Block: 1000-1115, Third Block: 1115-105, Fourth Block: 105-240, and Fifth Block: 240-325. If you child has to be redirected at any of these times, they may not earn their block point. At the end of ever month, we will have a block party. The students must earn a certain number of points each month to attend the block party. I will not reveal to the students how many points because I want them working hard everyday, not just hard enough to earn enough points for the block party. I will or your child will write the number of points that they earn each day into their planner. In the classroom, each child has a folder with sheets in it for every week of the month. They mark down happy faces when they earn their points and when they do not earn their point, I will write the reason why they did not earn the point. I will send home these sheets at the end of every month. Due to the fact that I have started these folders, there will no longer be a sheet for you to sign in the Wednesday folder.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me!
