December Learning

Just want to send out a quick reminder that Learning continues through our last day here in Dec, Dec. 22. We will stick to our regular routines of teaching and assessing standards. We know some absences cannot be helped, but please help us by making every effort to have your child here ready to learn. Any missed assessments or classwork will have to be made up. Enjoy your holiday season and let's keep on learning......

Behavior Clip Chart

Dear Parents,

We are beginning a new behavior management system in our classroom, we will be using a colored “clip chart” to monitor our behavior and our choices. Your child will have a clip that they will physically move up or down the chart, depending on their choices. Please keep in mind that your child may not move every single day for them to move up, they must go above and beyond in their behavior choices! The chart below explains how the clip chart works:

 

Pink Outstanding!	If you move to Outstanding, you’ll get to decorate your clip and take a happy note home!
Blue Good day!	As you continue to make good choices, you’ll advance to “Good day!”.
Purple Great Job!	Making a good choice will help you move up to the blue section of our chart.
Green Ready to learn	You will get to start out each day on “Ready to Learn”. You will move your clip up or down depending on your choices each day.
Orange Think about it	If you receive a warning, you will move your clip down to help you remember to think about your choices.
Yellow Teacher’s Choice	If you continue to make poor choices, you will move to “Teacher’s Choice”. You will miss five minutes of recess, have to eat silent lunch, or sit in another room to complete an assignment.
Red Parent Contact	If you still choose to make bad decisions, you will move to “Parent contact”. You will miss an entire recess and complete a “Behavior Reflection” for mom or dad to sign.

 

I believe this will be a positive way for students to monitor their choices and will give them behavior goals to strive for! As always, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me!

Homework, Agendas, and Tuesday folders

Assignment book/Agenda: Students are required to copy down the HW assignments each day. Please check and sign your child's agenda daily. If you feel concerned that things are not getting written down, please feel free to contact me. Kelly.Webb@cobbk12.org.

Tuesday Folders : Each Tuesday your child will bring home graded work, flyers, and other information in their Tuesday folder.

Behavior:If a student receives a check mark during the day for a behavior issue, they will lose a ticket and it will be recorded in their agenda. Missing assignments will be completed during recess. If the assignment is still unfinished, It will become homework and will be written in the agenda. Again, Please check and sign the agenda daily.

Meet Mrs. Webb

Welcome to Mrs. Webb's second grade class. I am so excited about a new and exciting year at Keheley!

Let me tell you a little about myself. I am a native Georgian and Cobb Countian. A graduate of the Cobb County school system; I attended Norton Park Elementary in Smyrna, Floyd Middle School in Austell, and R.L. Osborne High School in Marietta. After high school I held several jobs including cosmetology, house painting, fast food management, and secretarial positions. I returned to school after marriage and the birth of both of my children. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Education from Mercer University and my Master's in Elementary Reading and Literacy from Walden University.

As mentioned before, I am married. My husband Greg is also a native Georgian and Cobb Countian. We have two Children, Victoria and Amanda. Our household is also inhabited by two dogs: Tymone and Sampson. Long walks in the woods and going out to eat are our favorite family activities.

Again let me say how glad I am to have your child in my room this year. Please always feel free to come into my classroom. Questions are always welcome. My goal is to help your children grow into responsible and excited learners.

The best way to contact me is through email at: Kelly.Webb@cobbk12.org

Mrs. Webb's Rules and Expectations

Mrs. Webb’s
Rules and Expectations

Welcome to 2nd grade! You are in for a great year. This is an outline of my rules and expectations. If you make the right choices and do your personal best throughout the year, you will be successful.

Responsibility
Responsibility is spoken of often and emphasized in everything we do. Being responsible, however, does not mean that you will not get help. You are still learning. I will help you learn strategies to keep yourself organized and successful. Since we are teaching responsibility, not dependency, you will be held accountable for your choices and actions. Please come to school prepared. Phone calls home will not be allowed unless it is an emergency.

Expectations
You will be expected to follow these 7 guidelines to success.
1. Follow directions and listen carefully.
2. Be kind and respect others in words and actions.
3. Be honest in what you say and do.
4. Respect property of others.
5. Complete all work to your personal best.
6. Work and play safely.

Rewards and Consequences
You will have the opportunity to earn many rewards throughout the year if you make great choices. Each child will receive "5 tickets" at the beginning of each week. It is your responsibility to keep up with your tickets. If you choose to follow the rules and expectations you will keep your tickets and be able to purchase rewards on Friday. If you choose not to follow the rules and expectations check marks are given on my behavior sheet along with the following daily consequences:

Verbal Warning
1 Name in Bookk – loss of 1 ticket Behavior Sticker in Agenda
2 Name in Book – loss of a second ticket, Cannot participate in Friday Celebration
3 Name in Book – loss of a third ticket and 10 minutes recess, a behavior form must be completed about the choices made and signed by the parent.
4 Name in Book – loss of a fourth ticket, all of recess, and parent will be contacted by the teacher.
Office referrals are based on the type of misbehavior or choice being made at teacher’s discretion

Every student starts with a clean slate each day.

Classwork and Homework
Most of our assignments will be completed in class. Any unfinished classwork can be completed at home if necessary. Each student will have an absence folder. All missed assignments will be placed into the folder for the student, and should be completed by Friday of the same week. For Friday absences, work is due by the following Tuesday.

Throughout the year, you will be given homework to complete on your own. I believe that homework is important because it helps you to review what we have learned in class as well as develop positive study habits.

Always put forth your best effort on any class and/or homework assignments. I expect all work to be neat and complete. Please try to do the work on your own and only ask for help after you have given it your best effort. Choose a quiet, comfortable place at home to complete homework.

Your assignment book must be filled out completely by the end of each day. It should include all homework assignments including unfinished classwork. Failure to complete your assignment book may cost you a ticket. Failure to have your assignment book signed by a parent nightly will cost you a ticket.

Third grade is fun and challenging. Do your best to come to school each day well rested and ready to learn!
