It
is important to establish procedures and daily routines for students.
The number one problem in the classroom is not discipline; it is the
lack of procedures and routines. Procedures and routines allow our
classroom to run smoothly and decrease disruptions. These procedures
and routines will be discussed and practiced in detail at the beginning
of the school year and reviewed as needed. All students are expected to
know and follow these procedures and routines in the classroom.
Students
are expected to enter and exit the classroom quietly. Upon entering
the classroom in the morning, students should prepare their materials
for class and begin the bell work written on the board.
Homework
will be collected every day at the beginning of the day. Students will
gather their homework from their homework folder and place it in the
homework collection bin at the front of the classroom. Homework folders
should be checked each evening by parents as parent/teacher
communication will be transported in the students' homework folders.
Class
participation is expected from every student. Students should come to
class prepared and ready to be actively engaged in the lessons.
Students will treat each other with respect, will show acceptance of
other ideas, and create an environment of freedom to express their own
ideas. Students will treat themselves, the teacher, their classmates,
and school personnel with respect.
Use
of the bathroom should be done before and after school. We will have
one morning bathroom break and one afternoon bathroom break. Any
student that needs to use the restroom at any other time should notify
the teacher and will be given a bathroom pass. This should be limited
to emergencies.
