Classroom Management In my classroom I use Gold Tags as a

management tool. Here is the way the system works:

• Students will earn Gold Tags for following the rules, positive behavior, staying on task & focused and being a good friend. Once a student has earned 10 Gold Tags they may turn them in for a coupon!

• When a student is not following directions they will get a verbal warning, if the behavior continues, they sign the “Oops Binder” & miss 5 minutes of recess. If the behavior is consistent I will notify you.

Report Cards/Standards• The MVUSD is on a quarter system. 1st grade students

are given District Assessments 4 times a year. Language arts assessments are one-on-one tests that measure how well your child is performing towards meeting the standards. Math assessments are both oral and written assessments that are given whole group as well as one-on-one. The first set of assessments will be shared with you in October during Parent/Teacher Conferences.

• State Standards/Common Core: California is making a shift from state standards to Common Core. MVUSD is moving slowly towards CCSS starting with math.
