CLASS RULES and EXPECTATIONS

ALWAYS be on time for class - (I will give you times for bathroom breaks/water breaks)

RESPECT yourself, peers and our class - “Treat others as you would want to be treated!”

Promote POSITIVE talk in yourself and others - “If you don’t have something nice to say, keep it to yourself”

Use ACADEMIC language - (Use the words we learn in class)

THINK before you SPEAK - Pause and think “Is this okay to say or ask in front of the entire class, or should I talk with Mrs. Roth privately?”
