Learning Tickets During Remote Learning...How will that work?- REMINDER!

Purpose: To promote and encourage positive learning behavior demonstrated by students.

What’s a Learning Ticket? A business card sized ticket that is given to a student from Mr. Hofer when the teacher notices an outstanding learning behavior. The teacher will email Mr. Hofer explaining the outstanding learning behavior and the student who displayed it. The ticket has the student’s name, classroom teacher, and the outstanding learning behavior observed.

Reward: Mr. Hofer will join a class meeting to present the Learning Ticket to the student. The Learning Ticket will be mailed to the student along with a Dairy Queen or McDonald’s gift card.

Teacher Expectations: To nominate at least one student per month but not more than one student per week.

Teaching Idea!

Lesson lengths are critical re-thinks in remote learning. Students less that 14 years old have an attention span of 5-10 minutes. Use that to consider gauging and guiding lesson structures.

Here is a quick article to keep you reflecting.

Attendance

Here is the Elementary Attendance Policy for Remote Learning. If you have any students who have not engaged in classroom activities for multiple days this week, please email me with the student(s) name(s) and the attendance interventions you have tried. We will work together to determine if the student(s) will be marked absent and for how many days. Once attendance is determined, the teacher will need to go into Skyward to update the attendance by 8:00 a.m. on Monday for the previous week. Directions for changing attendance are hyperlinked in the policy above.
