5. All About Me
My name is Bethany "Beth" Salomon. This is my seventh year of
teaching. I taught one year of 5th grade in New York, and have been
teaching six years of kindergarten in Florida. I graduated college
from Buffalo State College in Buffalo, New York with a Bachelor's
and a Master's in Elementary Education and Reading. I enjoy
cooking, reading, knitting and playing with my dogs Haylie and
Lacey.
I am excited to be your child's teacher this year, and I look
forward to meeting you and your child!
6. Classroom Rules
Our classroom rules are simple:
*Listen and follow directions
*Keep hands and feet to self
*Be kind to others
*Leave candy, toys and gum at home
*Learn, learn, and learn!
7. Behavior Management
Purple = Outstanding Behavior!
(Student will receive a PURPLE smiley face in folder)
Green = Good Behavior!
(Student will receive a GREEN smiley face)
Yellow = Warning
(Student will loose 5 minutes of recess or Fun Center time, and
YELLOW will be marked in the folder with a note describing the
behavior displayed)
Red = Unacceptable Behavior
(Student will loose recess and/or Fun Center time, and RED will be
marked in the folder. Either a parent-signed note or phone call
home will indicate the disruption represented in the
classroom)
8. Behavior Management
Each child has been given a folder that he/she is responsible for
bringing to and from school each day. Enclosed in this folder will
be a monthly calendar. You will be able to see how your child
behaved each day by the color I have indicated on the calendar.
Please initial each day to see your childs progress.
Please be reminded that I do give warnings before I change the
cards to give your child a chance to correct the behavior at hand.
If for some reason the behavior is not corrected, after the
warning, I will change your childs card. At the end of the day, I
will ask your child why they were on yellow or red, and I will
write their explanation in their GREEN folder. At that time, I will
discuss briefly with your child about the behavior they displayed,
and I will help them come up with a positive solution for the next
time.
