Classroom Goals

In an effort to strive for and maintain the best possible academic environment, a certain level of disciple must be in place at all times.  Each student will know and understand these rules as well as the consequences of improper action.  It is my goal as well as the goal of the students to have the most productive learning environment.
Within St. Turibius' 1st grade classroom, we will always employ a fair and consistent level of discipline and respect for each other.  This level of discipline will foster a positive and productive learning environment.
 
Classroom Goals
Our ten goals this year come from the portion of the report card that deals with work skills, study habits, and citizenship.
1.   Begin work promptly                          6.  Do neat, careful work
2.   Complete work on time                      7.  Good classroom behavior 
3.   Work cooperatively                            8.  Good playground behavior
4.   Follow directions                               9.  Respect rights of others
5.   Listen attentively                             10.  Practice self-discipline

Rewards
Students can earn Turibius Tokens for following the classroom goals.  Monthly auctions will be held and prizes can be purchased with token accumulated.  Tokens will be given out daily to students who I see following the goals.  Prizes will be awarded on Fridays during our weekly token drawing.

We use five consequence levels when goals are not being met.
1.  Warning
