I will communicate my expectations early by sending a newsletter out at the beginning of each 6 week grading period that outlines the content their student will be learning. I will place a communication section in their daily take home folders in the event I need to write a message to the parents or they have a concern for me.

I must be consistent in enforcing gradual consequences and hold firm to the rules established. Rewards should also be a focus in the classroom management plan to promote positive behavior. The ultimate goal is to create a warm, safe, and positive learning
