Expectations and Consequences

Expectations / Consequences / Rewards

Establishing good classroom expectations are essential to each child’s success, confidence, and well-being.  Every child should feel that the classroom environment is safe and secure; free from all threats and emotional harm.  In addition, it is important that each child learns to develop self-discipline and good work habits, to resolve conflicts peacefully, and to think independently.  For these reasons, the discipline plan we have in place has several components.  First, the children will learn classroom expectations and develop the idea that our classroom is a community with the common purpose of learning and growing.  Through class discussions, the children and I will discuss these expectations that protect each student’s right to safety and respect, as well as, outlining the responsibilities that each child has in maintaining class order.
