Discipline Guidelines for Kindergarten

This note will explain the discipline guidelines in Kindergarten for the upcoming year, which will begin on Monday. I use two methods: Positive Reinforcement and 1 2 3 Magic.

Positive Reinforcement: Each child receives either a chart or a shape to correspond with the season to keep at their seat. When Mrs. Vulcan or I see a child listening and following directions they receive a sticker or may color in a box. When the child has received 20 stickers or colored in 20 boxes, they will have a prize of some type. For September, I will let the students purchase snack on any day they choose. October will be Halloween pencils. So each month the prize will be different.

1 2 3 Magic: This is a program that really seems to work like Magic! Sister Dorita, our Spiritual Counselor, has the book and DVD on the 1 2 3 Magic program available for parents to checkout if you are interested in using the program at home. Each child will have a stick in the stoplight. The program involves 3 opportunities to listen and follow directions. After 3 reminders/prompts the child will move his/her stick on the stoplight from green to yellow. After 3 more reminders/prompts the stick will move to red. This will be reflected in the daily communicator that comes home each day for you to review and sign.


Donations that are always needed:

Band-Aids

Disinfectant Wipes

Kindergarten Homework Ideas


Although I give homework each week, these suggestions are supplements for those families that want their child to have additional homework.

  1. Read to your child and ask comprehension questions. Who are the characters in the story? What are they like (personality)? What was the problem of the story and how was it solved? Stop during reading and ask what they predict might happen next.
  2. Practice upper case letter recognition, lower case recognition, and the sound of each letter. Go through magazines or books and read words that aren’t common to your child and ask what the word begins with, i.e. telescope, sound, plate, country, etc. Ask for the beginning and ending sound of words.
  3. Practice word wall words and word family words with your child. Your child can practice with flashcards, writing the words, using the words to make sentences in a journal or on handwriting paper or you can make a game board, TicTacToe board, or bingo game as alternative ways to practice words. Play “hangman” with words they are familiar with such as word wall words, word family words, holiday/seasonal words, the months of the year, or days of the week.
  4. Practice 3 letter words with your child. Give them a word like “jet” and say it slowly /j/ /e/ /t/ sounding sound each of the 3 sounds. Ask your child to give you the beginning and ending sound of the word. Give your child simple 3 letter words for a home spelling test.
  5. Your child may write stories in a journal or on paper using invented spelling along with word wall words and illustrate the story.
  6. Your child may want to make books of their own with their stories and your help in spelling words. Just fold some plain paper together or staple two sheets of paper together and fold it so the book will be several pages long.
  7. There are many books appropriate for their reading level at the teacher stores and at borders. Please make sure you read the book for each level. Level 1 and level 2 books aren’t the same, they vary by publisher. The local library and librarian is also a good resource for easy reading books.
  8. Your child may cut out pictures with beginning sounds to match up to letters.
  9. Practice putting the alphabet in alphabetical order.
  10. The www.starfall.com website has alphabet activities, abc printouts, beginning reading activities, and reading activities. There are other websites listed at the top of the schoolnotes webpage with activity sheets that can be printed out to practice printing letters and sounds.
  11. Practice printing last names.
  12. Practice counting to 100 and making more complex patterns.
  13. Your child needs to know his/her full name, address including city and state, and phone number. He/she will be graded on this for the second trimester marking period. Please practice this important information with your child and check every few weeks to make sure it is retained.
  14. Your child will be graded on being able to button, zipper, snap and tie 2nd marking period. Please practice this at home as well.
  15. You can purchase Kindergarten workbooks at almost any store including Office Max, Borders, The Teacher’s Book Bag, Happy Harry’s, Wal-Mart, etc.
  16. Practice rhyming words. There are many children’s books that have rhyming words.
  17. Let them read, even if they have memorized the words in books such as Brown Bear Brown Bear and Green Eggs and Ham.
