 My Personal Philosophy
Statement
My philosophy is to create a fun filled
environment where students will want
to learn, and that they will feel safe,
respected, and wanted. I believe all
students are teachable, if you teach
them in the way they learn.
 Introductory Letter
Hello first grader!
My name is Mrs. Mixon and I am so excited to be your teacher
this year! We are going to learn new and exciting things this year together. I
want to know all about you, but first I would like to tell you a few things
about myself.
I learned how to be a teacher at Wesleyann College. I love
teaching and working with children just like you. I have a wonderful
husband named Brian and two beautiful daughters named Brittany and
Makayla. I also have a dog named Fenix! He is a German Sheppard and loves
to cuddle. Here are a few of my favorite things! MRS. MIXON!
• Color- Light Blue
• Hobby- Roller Skating
• Disney Movie- Little Mermaid
• Vacation- Beach
I cannot wait to see what this year will have in store for us!
Love,
Mrs. Mixon
 First Day Of School
• Greet students and parents at the door

• Morning Announcements (Pledge, Star Spangled Banner, Principal Announcement)

• Go over procedure for lunch count and attendance rules (I will model for the students)

• Introduce myself and allow the students to introduce themselves. (4 count beat, say name, and one of their favorite things
to do)

• Play Go Noodle (This will help students move around and have fun)

• Go over rules and the Behavior Management Plan (Class Dojo)

• Read the Pete the Cat Rocking in my New Shoes (Go over carpet procedures, read aloud book, make predictions, use anchor
chart to write down some of their responses)

• Teach and practice procedures throughout the day: getting the teachers attention, lining up , pencil sharpener, unpacking
book bags, school supplies, bathroom, hallway, water fountain, how to turn in papers, emergency procedures, dismissal

• I will model each procedure correctly and allowed the students to practice.
 Behavior Management Plan

I will use Love and Logic Strategies

• I will handle problems back in a loving way.
• I will give time before I act on a situation.
• I will have a sympathy statement.
• Sometimes I will go brain dead.
• I will have a recovery plan: 1st a quiet place in the classroom,
2nd a seat in another class room, 3rd outside the principal’s
office.
• I will use Class DoJo to keep up with good behavior or bad
behavior and to keep parents updated on their children's
behavior.

 Emergency Procedures
• An emergency notebook will be by the door with the class role, students information and medical
information.

• Fire drill procedures. Students line up quietly at the door and exit the building to the assigned
area. Teacher takes attendance. Hold a green card if all the students are counted for. Hold up a yellow
card if all the students aren’t counted for but the teacher knows where that child is. Hold up a red
card if a child is missing. There will be a administrator coming around and checking cards.

• Severe weather procedures. The office will monitor the weather. The office will let us know if we
need to go to the assigned area for severe weather. Students line up quietly to go to the assign area,
for severe weather. Students should sit on the floor, with backs to wall, draw up their knees, lean
forward and place their hands or a book over their heads. Teacher takes attendance, then notify the
office if you have a student missing or have gained a student.

• Lock down procedures. This happens when something dangerous is outside or inside the school.
Code Yellow- Check the hall and make sure all students are in a classroom. Allow any student to
enter your room, then notify the office of extra students you may have. Lock your doors and
windows, check for any suspicious items in the room then continue with normal classroom activities
until the all clear is given over the intercom.
Code Red-Immediately lock your classroom door, cover your door window, remain on the floor and
quiet. Check for any suspicious items in your room. Do not open the door for anyone until a Police
Officer or Administrator comes to your room and personally instructs you to go to “Code Yellow”.
Students who are locked out of their room will go to the office or take cover in the nearest safe place
they can find.

• Practice drills throughout the year

 Entry/Morning Routines

get ready for lunch.

Individual Bathroom breaks

If it is emergency the students can make the sign language sign for the bathroom.

• They will wait till I give the ok sign.

• They will sign their name on the plates. This way, I will know who is out the room.

• If a student abuses the bathroom breaks, they will have two options:

Go to the bathroom and give me 5 min of recess or wait until the next classroom break.
 Classroom Jobs
