Welcome to my third grade class. I am so glad you are here. I heard that the “BEST” MAC students

were assigned to room 409.

Do you agree?

How can we PROVE we are the best?

Remember, actions speak LOUDER than words!

Our Rules • “Bee” a good listener and show respect.

• “Bee” kind with your words and actions.

• “Bee” a hard worker and always give your

best.

• “Bee”lieve in yourself and encourage others.

• Strive to “bee” a role model by following classroom and school expectations.

ClassDoJo • To help keep track of our behavior, we will

use ClassDojo. • Everyone will have a chance throughout

the day to earn positive points for following classroom rules &and procedures.

• Making good choices gives you the chance to earn lots of points.

• Making unwise choices moves you DOWN the clip chart. Moving DOWN & CONSEQUENCES. Don‘t go down!!!

Mrs. McDavid Cares
