Alpha Dog - Leader of the Pack

Picture
I am from St. Augustine, Florida.  Growing up, my immediate family was small - Mama, Daddy & my younger brother, Byron.  However, we were part of a large extended family. I have lots of aunts, uncles & many cousins.  Oyster roasts & fish fries on the beach were part of our regular routine. 
 I received a Bachelor of Science Degree from Carson-Newman College and later earned a Master's in Early Childhood Degree from Augusta College.  I have primarily taught second grade in the Aiken County Public School District.  I retired this summer after teaching nearly
34 years.
I live with my husband, Barry, and our lovable dog,
Mr. Bit-Bit.  We reside in North Augusta.  We have a daughter and son-in-law, Amelia & Zac,  who live in New York City with our "grand cats", Weezie & Abe.

 I enjoy playing tennis, playing Bridge, reading,  cooking and of course visiting Amelia and Zac.   We attend Fairview Presbyterian Church.  Our Christian faith is a vital part of our family. 
I am truly looking forward to working with my students at Mead Hall.  It is exciting to continue this chapter in my career at this wonderful place.  I believe every child is a gift from God.   Through His grace, I am already grateful for all the many successes that will come during this school year.

 "PAWS" for Good Behavior

Picture

In order for learning to occur in a timely manner, there must be specific rules in place.  I call these our class agreements.
We will all agree to:
1. Active Listening 
2.   Mutual Respect
3.  No Put Downs - be grateful
4.  Do your Personal Best
5.  Have Fun at Recess
-----------

We even have a class cheer that reminds us of these rules.
Put downs, put downs - no way.
Active listening - hurray!
Mutual respect & personal best, help guide me & all the rest.

"Barking Up the Wrong Tree"

A behavior chart reminds students of their behavior.   Each morning, a clothespin with his/her name is clipped to a "Ready to Learn" sign.  If someone breaks a rule, I will give a "gentle reminder".  This will be in the form of a look or quiet, verbal word.  If that was ignored, & unproductive behavior continues, then a student will move his/her clothespin to the "Think About It" sign.  If that doesn't help in making appropriate choices & misbehavior continues, the clothespin will be moved again.  The last sign is "Oh, No! Stop". At this point, there will be a consequence such as :
lost time at recess
quiet lunch
phone call home
 note to parent that will need to be signed
