Classroom Expectations

     In order to provide a safe and nurturing environment where students have the best opportunities to learn and develop positive relationships with each other, it is necessary for children to know and demonstrate the expectations of our classroom.  We will go over these expectations often at the beginning of the year.  Please take the time to talk about these expectations with your child so he/she knows that we are working together for success. 

     Our expectations are:

-Follow directions quickly.

-Raise your hand to ask permission to speak during whole group time.

-Make smart choices.

-Listen when your teacher is talking.

-Keep hands, feet and all things to yourself.

     Apollo Elementary students are taught many character traits to strengthen social skills at school and in the world.  With lessons from Mrs. Ebert, we focus on the following:

-Conflict resolution

-Bucket filling

-Respect

-Responsibility

-Perseverance 

-Habits of leadership

-Accepting differences

     During the first few days of school, we will create a social contract.  This contract will state how students want to be treated by me, by their peers and how I would like to be treated by them.  We will discuss what we do when there is a problem.
