**Reading RAZ : students have been added to our class roster. I sent home parent letters in you take-home folders in the back pocket. Now they can practice at home. You just log in and ask for permission. Once this is done, they send me an email which allows me to go in and update your child's access.

For homework, I will be including the assignment page and links to all the websites in our google classroom. That way, you can just click the links and go right to the web pages.
We will be using reading logs this year to encourage students to read lots of books. Last year we had students color pictures of different seasonal items and each time your child reads a book (or completes a Raz, book), you can color in a picture. At the end of every month they can turned it in and got a free book as a prize.
RAZ login. You just have to use: elanuzga as the teacher username. Then the students know how to log in themselves since we use it everyday at school (will set up soon).

Student Clip Chart Behavior System (We are using Class Dojo this year)
Clip Chart Colors
Pink - The Super Student level is reserved for outstanding behavior. A student who reaches this level will be able to pick one item from the treasure box.
*Purple - Students can move to the Great Job level for continuing to display good behavior. You should be very proud of your child for reaching this level!
*Blue - Students will move to the Good Choices level for showing that they are making the right behavior decisions! Ending the day on this level is great!
*Green - Every student will start the day on the Ready to Learn level. As the day goes on, clips can be moved up and down based on behavior. This level is a good one to be on!
*Yellow - A student will be moved to the Think About It level as a warning about
his/her behavior, and a reminder to follow the rules.
*Orange - Students who continue to display poor behavior can move
down to the Teacher’s Choice level. Here, the teacher can decide what
action to take, such as a Behavior Reflection Form.
*Red - When a student moves to the Parent Contact level, the teacher will
notify parents via note or phone call. A visit to the Principal’s office might also
be in order.
Students also receive positive incentives such as treasure box when homework is completed and if they stay on green or above all week. Treats are randomly given out when class shows exemplary behavior.
DOJO Website: students can earn positive points for outstanding behavior. We are working on earning at least 5 points per day to earn treasure chest.
