The Three R’s Respect - one another. Relationships - Foster a classroom for building relationships. Responsibility- Take pride and responsibility in our classroom and our classwork.

Good Manners Listen to the speaker. Be cooperative. Say please and thank you. Help others. Be patient. Be courteous. Share. Use quiet voices.

Entering the classroom Teacher greets students at the door when they arrive with a smile. Students put homework in the homework folder. Students can also hand in any other forms, money or notes at this time. There will be a

folder at the front of the classroom labeled “Returned Forms”. Put backpacks away in lockers. Do not slam lockers. Take note of the agenda on the board and write down objectives on the board for the day

in journal. There will be a schedule posted in the classroom as well. Students will post their own attendance on the cloth attendance board and the card with

their name and Velcro on the back. They will take their name and place it in the school lunch or brought lunch basket. Students are to only work with their own cards. It is okay if they remind their friend that they forgot to place their card on the board.

Pledge of Allegiance/Announcements

When announcements are on, everyone stops talking and listens.

When we stand and recite the pledge of allegiance and the school code everyone stands.

Calendar There is a calendar located in

class with Velcro numbers. The calendar helper will change the date on the calendar and write the day, month, and the year on the area provided on the board.

Morning Meetings After all bell work is completed, the teacher will ring the bell for students to sit at the

carpet to discuss the calendar, daily schedule, preview any upcoming events and discuss any issues students have. Then, we will begin talking about our lesson.

Dress Code Follow dress code for school every day. Dress code may be changed as principal specifies. Friday you can wear a school spirit shirt. Free dress can be earned at different times of the year, only then will it be allowed. If students come to school out of dress code then they will have to wear a shirt provided

by the school to cover the shirt they have on. A note will be sent home to your guardian that will need to be signed and brought back. It explains the dress code and what to do to follow it.

Attendance/Tardy Students are expected to attend every day of school. Excuses will follow the school policy. As students come into the classroom, place the tardy

slip in the basket by the door and quietly put your backpack away, gather your supplies and have a seat. Wait to submit homework when the teacher is not talking. Turn it in before you leave.

If a student gets three tardy passes, a note will be sent home for your guardian to sign and return. Attendance is recorded in the students file. It does affect the student’s grade. The attendance will be on the student’s report card. Please note student hand book.

The table captain will take responsibility for collecting work missed for the student at their table. They will place the work in a folder labeled “Absent work”. The student that was absent will get the work from the Absent work folder and take home to complete. Work completed due to being absent is turned in the folder labeled “Finished Absent Work” which is also located at the front of class.

The class website will have work posted on it for students. Students can check there and complete missed work at home. If students do not have internet access they are allowed to collect makeup work the day the return. Make up work can be turned in a week after it is collected. It will not be accepted 5 school days after the collected date.

Leaving the classroom Students need to submit completed work when it is ready in the folder labeled “Finished

work” at the front of the classroom. Students are to clean up and put books away when teacher says. They are to line up showing hallway expectations.

There is a poster with dismissal expectations, “Stop”, stop your work and put it away or submit it in the finished work folder. “Look,” look at your desk area, “Ask” students ask themselves, “Is my desk clean? Is the area around my desk clean?” If the answer is yes then students can get what they need and proceed to get in line.

Teacher states end of day closing message while students line up. This is a quick recap of what students have learned.

Homeroom class There will be a sign next my door that tells students where my homeroom class is during

the day and also which class is in my room. I will move a clip along the schedule to help student keep informed.

Completing Work Complete work at the table when students

arrive. As students complete work place it in the

correct folder, this is my first review assessment.

Students are to label their papers with their name, first and last, and the date before submitting work.

If the teacher observes no names on papers, the teacher will announce “Name check”, students are to check their papers for the heading to write their information at the top of the page if it is needed.

There will be a folder next to the assignment folder with “No Names” labeled. A student will check the folder before class ends each day and announce to the class if there are any paper that need a name.

5


Each class period will have a crate with a “Completed Work, Finished Absent Work, Work In Progress”, etc. folder to use. Work is to be placed in the correct folder for each period.

Students that complete work early can read a book or work on the basket activity at their table.

Use expectations chart to identify behaviors needed to complete each task.

Unfinished Work If time runs out in the

classroom, students will place their work in the “Work In Progress” crate at the front of class. There will be a folder for each student. The student can place work in the folder but no more than three pieces. It is their responsibility to complete their work.

There will be slips for students to use if they do not complete their homework. They are to check a reason why they did not finish the work and sign it as taking responsibility for their own work.

Carpet Time Students may choose where to sit at the carpet for story time. If students cannot control themselves or talk when it is not their turn, they will sit at their

desk. Students sit with legs crossed, criss cross-apple sauce, hands in their lap, spoons in your

bowl, while on the carpet. Students do not lay down or stretch legs out.

Call Backs When the teacher rings the bell, students clean up. Teacher will clap her hands, students clap back. Macaroni and Cheese, students answer everybody freeze Everybody rock, students answer, everybody roll! Zip it, lock it, students answer put it in your pocket. Call chant out to students. “School name” They answer

“mascot”, until they all are giving all of their attention

When lining up, teacher will use varying voice tones and ask different questions. If the student answers, then they will line up.

Students walk quietly with arms crossed in the hallway; stand in Second Square, no talking. Teacher announces a check off for lining up, arms crossed, students chant back check, feet facing the front, check and noises off, check. All sounds should be off when they chant back the last time and be ready to leave.

person to reassure that everyone gets a chance to talk. Respect other students’ opinions. It is okay to disagree but no arguing is allowed. Keep the voice level as noted on the success chart. When asked to go to the interactive white board, take care to handle it with care and do

the one speaking. Table captains will be at each table and will rotate each week.

They will gather supplies for the group. They can ask for help if they need it.

There will be a speaker chair in the front of class for students who are presenting. The student in the chair can say “I’ll wait for you guys to be ready,” if the class is not giving them their attention.

choice. They can select where they want to read. There is a couch and several bean bags located in our class library, students will take turns sharing the couch and bean bags. Students can read at their desk or on the carpet. They are to be arm’s length apart and read quietly. No talking is allowed. Students can reference the RAP chart in the classroom for the procedure.

Guests Students welcome guests to the room by giving them your attention, which means not

talking. When the teacher is talking to a guest students remain quiet.

Homework Each student is assigned a Homework

folder. The pocket on the left is marked “In” for homework returned to the teacher. The “In” pocket is also for returning signed forms or any other information that comes to the teacher from home. The pocket marked “Out” is for home work packets that are going home to be completed. This can also be other forms, and other information that goes home.

Hand signals Crossed fingers, bathroom. Three fingers or a W, water. Thumbs up, I understand. One finger means “I have a question.” Two fingers “Be quiet.” Teacher uses “Yakity Yak.” Students point back at her to signify “Back on track”

Disruptive behavior Utilize the STOP technique; write the word STOP on the board in capital letters. Then

write a mark through each letter of the word Stop on the board and wait for students to respond. Mark another letter through until all students are recomposed. If all letters are

14


marked through before students regain composure they will stop the activity and write in their journal, complete a worksheet or read a book before resuming the activity.

Use guideline infraction notice for students that choose not to follow classroom procedures. This will be sent home to parents and guardian, at teacher’s discretion. It will need to be signed by parents or guardians and returned for the teacher to keep in students file.

can give the teacher the palm signal to let the teacher know they need space. They can go to the chair and regroup. They will give a thumbs up when they are ready to talk to the teacher.

Tests The table captain will get a test folder from the back and set it up on the table to block

wondering eyes. Students are not to look on each

other’s papers. Tests are to be turned over and

students sit quietly while others are finishing.

When all students are finished as the teacher calls, the table captain will place the folders back at the supplies table.

Students do not get up, or talk during a test. No restroom breaks unless it is an emergency.

Pencils should be sharp and ready to use before beginning the test.

Emotional Issues The teacher will ask the upset student questions to try

to get them redirected to do classwork. The teacher will offer comforting words to the student. She will offer a comfort pal, a stuffed animal, to the student if they are upset or crying. The student can get a pal of their choice and return it to the basket when they no longer need it.


End of the Day Dismissal

Students have cleaned up their desk area. They have their homework put away. Check the room floors for any trash; pick up what is on the floor. We take pride in our classroom. Stack your own chair neatly and carefully. Chairs are stacked 5 high. Form lines for afterschool, bus, walkers, daycare bus, and parent pick up. The assigned teacher will come and pick up students from the class. Hallway expectations are necessary. We will follow the school procedure for dismissal.

If student’s usual method of pick up or dismissal changes a written note is needed from your guardian that explains how students are to go home. Students cannot verbally inform the teacher of a change in dismissal.
