Coupon Rewards Parent notes

Hello all! I use behavior coupons in my classroom to reward good behavior. I have my coupons laminated so I have the students turn in their coupon that they have earned in order to reedeem them. Because of this, I wanted to make some quick notes to send home with my students. These notes go home the night before the students want to redeem their coupon. The notes serve as recognition so that the parents see how well their child has been behaving. Some of them also help by asking the parent

Experience

I have been through many of the lower grades. 1st and 2nd are my absolute favorites, but I also have a soft spot for 4th! I absolutely LOVE teaching. I couldn't ever imagine doing anything else. Reading is a passion of mine, and I am currently going back to grade school to get my reading specialist certificate.

Teaching style

I want the environment of my classroom to be one where students are excited to come to each and every day. I want them to feel safe, and know that their classroom is a place where they can express themselves. With the being said, I am a stickler for behavior. My students learn that right off the bat. I love rewarding good behavior. FUN is my middle name, and I put that word into as much of my activities as possible.

Awards & shining teacher moments

I graduated with honors in undergrad, and will hopefully be doing even more for grad school!

My own education history

I graduated high school in 2007. I attended the University of Pitt at Johnstown Campus. College was the most amazing time of my life. I loved every minute of it. Th education program was wonderful. I was able to do 4 Field placements and 3 different student teaching experiences. I graduated college in 2011. I am now currently going back to grad school for reading at Edinboro.
