Welcome to my third grade class.
I am so glad you are here. I heard
   that I have the “best” MAC
      students in Room 409.
          Do you agree?

How can we PROVE
  we are the best? Remember,
actions speak LOUDER than words!

Our Rules

• “Bee” a good listener and show respect.
• “Bee” kind with your words and actions.
• “Bee” a hard worker and always give your
  best.
• “Bee”lieve in yourself and encourage
  others.
• Strive to “bee” a role model by following
  classroom and school expectations.

Behavior Clip Chart

• To help keep track of our behavior, we will
  use the Clip Chart located in the back of
  the room.
• Everyone will start on READY to LEARN.
• Making good choices moves you UP the
  clip chart. Moving UP = REWARDS.
• Making unwise choices moves you DOWN
  the clip chart. Moving DOWN =
  CONSEQUENCES. Don‘t go down!!!

Mrs. McDavid Cares

• I care deeply about all of my students!
• I believe that we are a community of
  learners and that we have the BEST class in
  all of Midland.
• I believe that if we take time to nurture
  each other…support each other…
  encourage each other…we will create an
  environment built on trust and love. A
  place we will WANT to be a part of every
  single day!

Remember, “bee” a role model to your classmate.
Nurture each other…support each other… encourage each other….
