I have high expectations for all of my students academically as well as
behaviorally. All students are expected to treat each other as they would
like to be treated, work cooperatively, and be neat and organized. I place a
big emphasis on students choosing their attitude and actions, regardless of
circumstances. What this means is students need to be aware of their
behavior and choose to handle challenges in an appropriate way. I prefer to
focus on the positive and offer praise and rewards as earned. In order for
our classroom to operate smoothly, certain things must occur. These rules
have been developed to facilitate learning.
CLASS RULES
1. Respect everyone. Treat each other with kindness and respect.
2. Listen carefully and follow directions the first time they are given.
3. Raise your hand and wait to be called on before speaking.
4. Be neat. Keep all areas of the classroom neat and organized.
5. Be prepared to learn every day.
REWARDS
Every Friday our class will have Fun Friday. This will be approximately 20
minutes. Some activities include: watching movies, going outside, or playing
games. Students who do not go past green during the week will be able to
participate. Others will be sent to another class to think about their
behavior that occurred.
