• Due to the nature of the programs that I teach, I generally utilize the Google classroom on FID days, emergency closures, extended absences due to illness, and in- class assignments. Students will be asked to join during the first week of intervention. At times, helpful resource will also be added.

• Students rarely receive assignments for homework aside from getting an adult signature on bi-weekly Progress Monitoring and Unit tests. Signed papers should be returned the next day.

Expectations

• Students are expected to bring a pencil and a book to class each day.

• Students are expected to participate and follow the teacher in instructional activities such a tapping out words, echoing words and sounds, and finger writing in air or on desks.

• Students will be asked to volunteer to spell and mark words on the Promethean board.

• Students are expected to treat classroom materials with care and put them away at the end of each class period as directed.

• Students are to be respectful of their peers and themselves, offering only words of encouragement.

• Students are to be active listeners and wait to be recognized for their turn to share.

• Students are expected to try their best each day.

Rules

1. Remain in seat and ready to learn.

2. Follow directions.

3. Respect others and their property.

I utilize a reward system in which students earn stamps to cash in for prizes. Stamps are rewarded for following directions, giving exceptional responses, returning signed papers, having required materials, being a positive role model, being polite and helpful to substitutes, and working well as a class.
