OUR CLASSROOMS
Welcome to the 3rd grade at Honowai Elementary School. We are excited to start a new school year with each of you. Parents, please remember to have your child ready for school on the first day of school. In order to do so, we highly encourage your child to have all school supplies brought to school on the first day.

BEHAVIOR SYSTEM
We have a strict behavior system implemented, and in our classroom we have a board with all the students’ names labeled on a pocket. In each pocket are five colored cards – green, yellow, orange, pink, and black.
Basically, all students start each morning with a green card, and a green card signifies that the student is behaving well. If the student is warned several times about a behavior that needs to be corrected, then the student will be asked to change his/her card to a yellow card, signifying that the student has received an official first warning. If the behavior persists after correction has been suggested, then the student will be asked to change his/her card to an orange card, an official second warning.
Here is a quick overview of the system:
Green: Good job!
Yellow: 1st warning
Orange: 2nd warning
Pink: 3rd warning and demerit sent to parent
Black: Referral, demerit, sent to the office, and/or detention
Please note that all our 3rd grade teachers implement this behavior system. However, the consequences for each warning may vary for each teacher. If you have any questions, please feel free to visit each class.
You will know your child’s card by looking at the calendar found in the inside front cover of the HSN. I will stamp the calendars each day. However, the students must earn a stamp. Like jobs in the real world, I tell my students that their jobs are to be good students, and, like in the real world, you get paid when you do your job well.
In accordance with my behavior system, we stamp only those that end their day with a green card. Those that received a yellow, orange, pink, or black will have an X colored with the color card your child had at the end of the day. For example, if your child got a yellow card, we will mark the calendar date with a yellow X. We will write a note under your child’s homework about his/her behavior, and/or we may make a phone call to you. As a follow-up and corrective action, you should talk with your child about his/her actions in receiving the warnings.
In the case where your child receives a pink or black card, your child will receive a demerit. A copy of the demerit will be attached in your child’s HSN, and your child MUST get a parent/adult signature. This demerit will explain your child’s offenses and why he/she received the demerit. Please sign it and have it returned to us the next day.
