Classroom Expectations Learning is something
that can only happen in a classroom that is safe and fair for all students.
Classroom rules are put in place to ensure this happens! My classroom
expectations will help create a positive learning environment for your child.
Your child will be responsible for their own behavior and will be asked to
monitor their own behavior throughout the day. It is my hope that your child
will become a stronger role model for the Chinook community. Classroom Rules: 1.
Be Kind 2.
Be Respectful 3.
Be Safe 4. Be Responsible On the first day of
school, we discussed what these rules mean to the class. Students gave
examples of each rule; what it should look like and what is doesn’t look
like. We brainstormed thousands of examples in order to decrease the
confusion around each rule. Please ask your child what these rules mean to
them! Following the
classroom rules are extremely important to me. I feel that I am a very
positive person and would like to see each child be recognized more when they
do good things than bad. Each individual in the classroom has the opportunity
to earn “Bravo Bucks”. These are bucks that students can build up and use to
buy rewards in the classroom. Some examples of the rewards include: buying a
comfortable chair for the day, inviting a friend for lunch, and much, much
more. |

Individual
Consequences: Times when I am not able to reward and
instead need to intervene on a behavior, I follow a certain number of steps.
I like to think that failure to follow the rules is something that a child
can correct on their own and I like to give them ample opportunities to
correct their behavior. If a student shows that they cannot correct their own
behavior, consequences will be used: First Time a rule is
broken: I remind student
that they might not be making the right choices. Second Time: I will ask students to sign the “warning” clipboard. Third Time: I will ask students to go to think time. Think time is when
a student needs to leave the classroom for some time to think about their
behavior and write about what they are doing wrong. If a student receives
five or more think times, the forms will start coming home and will need to
be signed and returned. All think times after the fifth one will require
a parent signature! If a student
continues this behavior, more severe consequences will be given. Clipart
