As part of our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) program, Palos West has created a matrix in which examples of good behavior are given. We want our students to be respectful, responsible, honest and compassionate. I have listed the ways in which the students can exhibit the behavior that is expected in the classroom below.
Rewards for Good Behavior:
The students will keep a sticker sheet to track their good behavior. When the sticker sheet has been filled, they get to choose from one of our classroom rewards.
In third grade, our goal is for students to spend no more than 30 minutes a day on homework. I ask that students spend 20 minutes a day reading. This can be something that your child chooses on their own, or something that we are reading in class. During the other 10 minutes, students should work on practicing their spelling words as well as their basic math facts. In 3rd grade, we focus on multiplication and division. Students should practice these basic facts each night for about 5 minutes.
DAILY SNACK TIME
If your child would like to bring in a small healthy snack to be eaten during the morning, they may do so.
