 Rules and Procedures

Our number one rule in third grade is to respect yourself, others, and our materials. When we respect ourselves, we try our very best and behave in a way that will always make our families proud. When we respect others, we treat them politely and with honesty. We help others whenever possible and exhibit a positive attitude. When we respect materials, we take care of property and clean things up carefully.

Third grade teachers use a tack system for rewards and consequences. Children will earn tacks for the bulletin board in many ways. They can earn tacks for turning in homework or permission slips on time, and for getting planners signed each day. They can earn them for being "caught doing good" and for exceptional behavior. They will earn tacks for high achievement on tests and assignments, and for extra effort. Tacks can also be taken away from a child for dishonesty, rudeness, poor sportsmanship, and disrespectful behavior. Children will receive prizes, toys, candy, and other rewards for tacks that they earn. Yeah!
