All students at Barkhamsted School are encouraged to attain success in many ways. Grade 2 has a set of expectations for safety, organization, achieving, respect, and responsibility. We will review these expectations with all students during the first few days of school.
Rewards: Each day second graders have a 10-15 minute reward break in the afternoon. Representing the 10 minutes is a "minute strip" taped to each student's desk. Minutes can be taken for any behaviors that are unkind or disruptive to the learning in the classroom. A calendar will be sent home each day reporting the number of minutes earned by each student that day.
Students can earn SOAR tickets any time a teacher catches them "soaring to success." In addition, students earn a SOAR ticket for each day recorded on their reading logs and each day they kept all 10 minutes. Students have the opportunity to trade in their tickets for classroom and school-wide incentives.
