Never settle for less than your best!
Class Rules & Discipline:
In the beginning of the school year we talked a lot about appropriate behavior in school. We worked in cooperative groups to decide on seven important rules that must be followed in class. Each student signed their name.
1. Raise your hand to be called on.
2. Don't speak when others are speaking.
3. Pay attention to the person speaking, (especially if it’s the teacher.)
4. Use appropriate and polite language.
5. Keep your hands to yourself.
6. Cooperate with others, and respect other people’s property, thoughts, and ideas.
7. ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST
Also throughout the school year we will remember these key words:
Respect Honesty Politeness Self-control Tolerance
It is expected that students listen and behave properly in a school environment. However, issues related to a student’s inappropriate behavior will be documented in a “Behavior Log.” Parents will be notified by note, phone, or email after three to five minor occurrences or on serious matters. We also may have “Behavior Think Sheets” that students must fill out if they are breaking classroom rules or misbehaving. This sheet may be sent home for your signature and expected back the following day. Our classroom rules and consequences will be set by the students, teachers, and school policy. In addition, we will be using a system of “minutes,” in which the class can earn and/or lose “PAT (Preferred Activities Time) minutes” on Fridays to work with educational software, games, and activities. This works on a class, group and/or individual basis. to edit this text.
