New Behavior and Organization System
We will be starting our checkbook program this week. For the next couple of months, we will be working with check books to keep track of deposits, withdrawals (payments) and balancing money. This is tied directly to math and our standards in economics as well as reinforcing positive behavior.
The students will be each be given a checkbook and a “paycheck” each week. The “paycheck” is $5.00. They will be responsible to enter this into their check register. Each day, the students will be expected to be prepared for class, be respectful, responsible and do their daily or weekly homework or they will be deducted accordingly (see below). They also have opportunities to earn bonuses for demonstrating respectful, responsible, problem solving skills.
At the end of the quarter, students who have earned $45.00 or more will be eligible for the celebration. Only students with $45.00 balances will be eligible for this celebration.
This program is meant to encourage all fourth graders to continue their best habits of responsibility and cooperation. Our goal is to help our students gain independence moving forward as well as helping them to make good choices and be responsible citizens in our school community. We appreciate your continued support at home and at school.
Thank you,
SLE 4th grade teachers
