Study Skills

Behavior System: Breaks

What is the “The Nurtured Heart Approach?”

• Behavior system that supports success and positive choices.
• If a rule is not being followed, students are told to “Take a break.”

What is a break?

• A break is a short time away from the group. It is a time to reflect and think about your actions.
• We stress this is not a negative thing– they are not in trouble! It is just a time to reflect and get

themselves back on track. What if I don’t take break? Consequences (if a student refuses to take a break)

• First time: warning, discussion with student
• Second time: contact parent
• Third time: parent/teacher/student conference

This system is used in all three 5th grade classrooms! Why use this system?

• Positive attention/ positive reinforcement
• Students become more mindful
• Builds strong relationships between teacher and student

• Students are expected to read 150 minutes over the period of a week

(Monday-Sunday). Reading logs due Monday signed by a parent!

• Study for Words Their Way quizzes. Quizzes will be on their

individualized lists on most Fridays.

• Students are expected to complete assignments daily and if they finish

quicker than 50 minutes, they should refer to the extension activities in their binders.

• Please refer to teacher webpages for assignments. All 5th grade

students have access to google classrooms.
