Our First Grade Classroom
Our first grade classroom is an exciting place to learn. Students enjoy working in a positive, supportive environment.
Classroom Incentives
S.O.A.R.
In our classroom students experience success in learning while applying the S.O.A.R. expectations. They focus on Safety, Organization, Achievement based learning and Respect and Responibility. Students earn S.O.A.R. tickets for following these expectations. Students earn whole class eagle tickets for achieving as a team. There are many rewards students can trade their tickets in for including reading to another class and having lunch with the teacher.
Marble Jar
We have a jar containing 70 marbles in the classroom. By following classroom expectations, students can earn marbles for the class. Once all 70 marbles have been earned (this usually takes about 5 school days), students earn a whole class reward such as an extra recess. Students can earn marbles individually or as group.
