By now, many of you have heard of our Business Pass system. It's a fun, positive way to encourage personal responsibility and effective time-management in the classroom.
Here are the "regulations," that we have set forth as a Grade 3 Team:
Business Pass Regulations:
- Each student receives 5 business passes the first day of each month and each class has a different color so we can keep track!
- Students can use business passes when they:
- Need to go to the bathroom during lessons/independent work time – other group bathroom times should be arranged during the day (transitions, snack, etc.)
- Have forgotten homework/reading material/etc. in their cubbies and need it during a lesson.
- Have forgotten their water bottle or lunchbox during recess and must return to their cubby to retrieve it.
- If students run out of business passes, they may be given more, but the following month they will receive less than the five they were originally supposed to get.
- It is the students responsibility to keep track of their business passes – if they lose them, they lose them!
- Students may exchange/give each other business passes at their own discretion – however not between classes.
At
the end of each trimester (which is now), we will celebrate a “souk day” where students will
bring in something to sell in exchange for business passes. Each student will
bring in approximately 10 items to sell. These items are low cost items such as
stationary or baked goods. It’s a super day for students and we are looking
forward to having a great time!
So, if you could please send in 10 small items (toys, home-baked goods, pens, pencils, anything your own child would enjoy) by Wednesday, we will have our special "souk" day on Thursday, Dec. 12.
Thank you so much for your support!
