Classroom News
Mrs. Warren’s Transitional Kindergarten Class

I am writing this last newsletter all teary eyed. This has been an amazing year with your little ones. They have learned so much and they are incredible little wonders. I am so very proud of everyone.
This is my last year teaching. I am retiring at the end of this school year. I have taught little ones for 40 years, 34 which have been here in the Cassopolis Public School System. Early childhood education has been my passion and my existence for the majority of my life. Even as a little girl I played school in the garage in the summertime.
I hope to enjoy some “me” time and I will have time to care for my elderly parents who are 89 and 92 and I also plan on spending more time enjoying my grandchildren. I hope to also still give back to this wonderful school family that I have loved for these many years.
Enjoy your summer with your family and God bless you.
I love you all.

Behavior Management Plan
MRS. WARREN'S KINDERGARTEN CLASS
I believe that in order to have a well-managed classroom where learning is taking place, we need to have mutual respect between the teacher and students. I spend a lot of time learning about, talking to, and getting to know and care about every one of my students. Your child will be encouraIged to try and do their best every day. There is no “I can’t” in our classroom. We speak positively about ourselves:
Our school motto is:
I am smart.
I am kind.
I am important.
And I am here to Learn.
My classroom is highly structured and I have high expectations for my students. Consistency is the key to having a well-managed classroom.
I believe having open communication between teacher and parents is essential to your child’s educational success. I will be communicating regularly with you through weekly newsletters, the REMIND app., website, notes, email, and phone calls. You may contact me at any time at 445-0517, REMIND text or [email protected] also.
We have so much to learn in kindergarten and the less time I have to spend on discipline (and interruptions), the more time I have to teach.
Consequences:
1st--Verbal Warnings: Children may have up to 3 depending on the incident.
2nd--Thinking Chair: Child will sit and think about changing their behavior and tell the teacher the rule and what they need to do. I may send home an "Ooops" note.
3rd--Name on the Board: This means they will “owe” me time (5 or 10 minutes) either at free time or recess. You will receive an "Oooops!" note from me explaining the problem. This must be signed and returned the next day.
4th--Responsible Ranger Referral: This means a write up which you must sign and return. Student will be sent to the office. You will receive notification (a phone call) from me.
Unfortunately some problem behaviors that hurt other children or are considered major offenses may skip directly to a level 3 or 4.
After any problem behavior I conference with the individual child and we problem solve regarding the behavior and how to change it and re-state the positive desired behavior.
Mrs. Warren’s Classroom Rules
1. We walk in school.
2. We are kind and show respect.
3. We keep our area clean.
4. We keep our hands, feet, and objects in our own personal space.
5. We stay on task (doing what the teacher has told us to do).
6. We obey the proper voice level.
Let’s work together to have a positive learning environment for all children. Thank you.
Mrs. Donna Warren
