I Feel Happy Song

(A song we sing)

When someone smiles at me,

I feel like smiling me.

When I see someone looking happy,

I feel happy too.

Happy, happy me,

Happy, happy you.

When I see someone looking happy,

I feel happy too.

The first part of done is DO!!!!!

Each child has 6 different colors of frogs in his individual pocket on the class chart.   Each color of frog stands for behavior.  Each child starts the day with a purple frog.  The frog is turned to the next color for misbehavior.  The colors of frogs are the following:

Frog Behavior Chart
Purple Frog	Good behavior
Blue Frog	Warning
Yellow Frog	5 minutes of recess lost
Green Frog	10 minutes of recess lost
Orange Frog	Note sent home to parents
Red Frog	Go and visit the principal

Each child has a monthly behavior calendar that is sent home daily in his/her Going Home Folder. Each child’s calendar is color stamped for behavior each day.    If a child turns his frog to yellow, green, orange or red 5 times during the month, he/she will not attend the End of the Month Party. They will go to the office and do assigned work. The calendar is signed daily and sent back to school.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

Ephesians 6:1
