Welcome
Hello! My name is Mrs. Maddie Lewis and I am excited to be your child’s teacher. I have been waiting all summer to meet you! This year will be full of fun and learning in 1st grade. I can’t wait to take you on the most wonderful adventures this year. We are going to have a BLAST in 1st grade! I want to know all about your child, but first I will tell you a few things about myself. I am a native of Kerrville, Texas and graduated from Tivy High School. I moved to San Marcos, Texas to attend Texas State University. EAT EM’ UP CATS! I received a degree in Curriculum and Instruction and majored in elementary education. I then moved back to the Hill Country and got married to my husband, Wesley Lewis, who graduated from Texas Tech. We have 2 adorable chocolate labs named Abby and Bear. I have wanted to become a teacher since I was a little girl and it’s so wonderful being able to come to my dream job every day!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lewis
Citizenship
Our behavior management/ citizenship thrives on positive reinforcement and teachable moments. We are only 6 and 7 years old. Occasionally we will make a choice that needs some redirection and sometimes a consequence.
Clips
We will also be using a color coded clip system to help monitor our choices. Student daily folders will be marked with their “color” each day.
Green = I am making GREAT choices today!
Yellow = I received a warning for a choice I made.
Orange = I am continuing with my choice, so my teacher is going to make one for me.
Red = I am needing help with my choices, so I will be contacting home for advice, and I may have chosen to have time away from my class.
NOTE: Extreme behavior choices will result in an immediate trip to the office.
Class DoJo
Dojo will be used to support positive behavior in the classroom.
Dojo is a web based program which allows teachers and parents to track students’ behaviors easily and efficiently. The program is based on points, and students can be given positive points for things like being on task, being respectful, participating, or working hard. Points may be taken away if students are off task, talking out, or unprepared.
Dojo is designed to be a positive behavior reinforce in the classroom. Parents may access their student’s information via the Dojo App or website. Once your child has earned 25 points they will choose a Dojo pass. These passes consist of extra iPad time, lunch with the teacher, wear slippers to school, write with a fancy pen, etc. Please see your child’s enrollment invitation for information on setting up your parent account.
This will also be our primary means of communication. Please enable notifications to stay up to date with the most current classroom news. If there is a behavior issue we will contact you via phone call, email, or message.
