1. Each day, when the music begins we will all clean up our welcome work and move to our meeting area to begin Morning Meeting.

3. We say good morning to each other and participate in an activity.

4. We have a positive attitude.

6. Everyone participates! This means listening, participating in activities, and responding to questions.

7. We are all friends. We’ll try to sit by a different friend each day.

8. When Morning Meeting is over, you are responsible for listening to Mrs. Naasko’s directions for the next part of our schedule.

1. You are free to use the bathroom or get a drink as long as Mrs. Naasko is not giving direct instruction. This means, during a lesson you need to wait until Mrs. Naasko is done giving directions or talking to leave your spot.

3. When you are done, wash and dry your hands.  Use pace, place, voice to get immediately back to work.

4. As long as there is no one getting a drink at the same time as you would like one, you may walk up and get a drink. “1, 2, 3, No more for me.”  You can bring a water bottle to school to keep at your desk.

5.  If at any time Mrs. Naasko thinks you are abusing your bathroom and drinking fountain privileges you will lose them.

Pace: Walk slowly and carefully.

Place: Think about where you are going and the best way to get there.

Voice: Refer to the voice chart in front of the room to check what your voice level should be.

1. Raise your hand, quietly. When we callout, no one can hear what anyone else is saying!

2. If I see your hand, I know you have a question and I will give you time to ask. You do not need to wave your hand in the air or make noises. This is distracting to me and to other students.

3. Mrs. Naasko will let you know when it is a calling out time and when it is a raise your hand time. Please listen to find out what “time” it is!

1. We all want to be respected and heard.  This is why when another student is talking to
the class during a lesson, we all will look at this  student and listen to them. Everyone has such  great ideas and it is important that we hear
everyone!

2. We keep our hands out of our desks when others are talking. We do not talk to our neighbors when others are talking. We are a community of students who know how to make responsible and respectful choices that we can be proud of!

1. When it is time to leave the room, Mrs. Naasko will call you by group to line up. Please do not line up until you are asked to do so. This is true even of the line leader. Problems lining up will result in us having to line up in alphabetical order.

2.  The Celebrity Student will be the leader.  I will call each group when it is their turn to line up.

2. We walk on the right hand side of the hallway and stay in a line, one student behind the other.

3. There is always a line leader and a
caboose. The line leader will always walk first and the caboose will always walk last.

4. Being respectful in line means: keep your hands to yourself (this means no touching other students’ work in the hallway!), walk, and stay behind the person in front of you. We are all going to the same place, so there is no need to push and rush!

5. Failure to walk appropriately in the halls means we will line up in alphabetical order.

1. Completed assignments will go in the black basket on the table by the door.
