**The TALID System**

==

==

==**It is possible to earn 100 points per day, with 10 periods of 10 points. Everyone has their own individual daily goal to reach. When you "make your day" by earning your goal, you will move your football to the yard line. It takes 6 days to make a touchdown, at which time you will receive your prize.**==

= "Do-Nut" Forget to Earn Your Happy Faces! **=

=== The students have an extra opportunity for rewards on Fridays. Each student has a Donut box on the wall behind Mrs. Miller's desk. Every day that your child earns 2 //smiley faces//, he/she receives a donut in their box. When the box is full with a dozen (12) donuts, the child orders their favorite donut for Friday party.....Yummy! ===

= Friday Party = = Everyone can earn Happy Faces on their clipboard by earning at least 45 points in the morning and afternoon (this is adjusted for individual needs). You have the opportunity to earn 9 Happy Faces in a typical week, one for each morning and afternoon up to and including Friday morning. Because //everyone has one rough morning or afternoon//, one Sad Face is fine...__no consequences__. Once you have earned 2 Sad Faces, you have not earned 20 minutes of our Friday party. 3 sad faces means you fail to earn 40 minutes of the party. If you earn 4 sad faces, it was a rough week, and you did not earn the Friday party. =

= Caught You Being Good! = = = ==The students have the opportunity to earn homework passes when they are observed to do something extra thoughtful, considerate, and polite. When a staff member observes a student to go above and beyond in helping another student or an adult, the staff person will tell the student that they just "Caught You Being Good." The student can go to the board and move his/her baseball into the glove. When Mrs. K. sees a student's baseball sitting in the glove, she will remove the ball and give the child a homework pass to be used on an evening of his/her choosing. So, when your child shares that they have made been "Caught Being Good," please give them a big hug or high five for being extra considerate citizens!==

= //Earning Field Trips....// = ===In order to earn the monthly field trips, students need to be demonstrating responsibility in __completing their school work__ and earning their daily TALID goal at least 75% of the time. Also, bus safety is a component of taking field trips; therefore, any bus write-ups will cause students to not earn the privilege of participating in that month's trip.===
