Classroom Family Expectations
During the first week of school, the students and I worked together to create three expectations for our classroom family.
1. Listen
2. Be loving
3. Ask permission
We continuously mention these in the classroom. These expectations provide the students with behavior and academic guidelines.
The first time a student does not follow these expectations, they receive a warning. After this, they have to sit out on opportunities to do games, coloring sheets, etc. However, if it is during an academic assignment, they take this time to finish their work separate from their classmates. If it is a social/emotional challenge, they go to our "Calming Couch" to recenter themselves and help resolve what happened. The third time, they might owe me silent lunch minutes depending on the misbehavior. Lastly, if the student continues to not follow our classroom expectations, I will contact home to discuss further steps. If a student has a social/emotional challenge, I always discuss with the student to help understand their challenge as well as to help them resolve it.
