We will be meeting in our Open Circle at least twice a week this year.  Open Circle is a program that teaches social and emotional skills.  The lessons are designed to help foster a classroom environment that is safe, caring, and respectful.


Family newsletters will be sent home after certain lessons. Please speak with your children about the topics discussed in Open Circle as they are topics that occur in and out of school.

In Open Circle we have been working on building our classroom community. As a class we decided on our class rules and the consequences for breaking the rules. The rules for Room 12 will be:



1. Be Respectful

2. Don't interrupt

3. Raise your hand

4. Stay on Topic

5. Take turns



The consequences for breaking the rules are:



1st time: a warning

2nd time: miss 5 minutes of recess

3rd time: miss 10 minutes of recess

4th time: Miss Martin will contact home



Double D behavior (dangerous and destructive) means going to the principal immediately.
