End of the Month Party

 

The children in first grade are working each month for an end of the month party.  They earn this party at the end of the month upon reaching the designated goal for that month.  They are rewarded with happy face tickets for positive behavior.  Some months we put our happy faces together for a group party. Other months the boy and girl who have the most happy faces get to go out to eat at Burger King with the teacher. 

We strive to always use positive reinforcement with each child to build up his/her self-esteem.  We want to instill in each child a loving heart to encourage, help, and serve others.  We want an attitude in our classroom that each child is important and that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.  (Phil. 4:13)  Let us encourage one another and in so doing we glorify the name of our Lord!

I might need to call on parents to send a treat, inexpensive prize, or food item from home to help out with these specials. Thank you parents for always being so willing to help with this positive and fun reward system.

The children will work as a family to earn the end of the month party.  Individual prizes may also be given out during the school year.
