Rules & procedures:
School rules:
Be kind, be safe, be respectful, be your best!
As a class we will come up with classroom rules to follow but I like to follow these guidelines for behavior and expectations:
If what we are doing interferes with learning, hurts someone's body or feelings OR prevents you from being your best you should not do it
If a behavior occurs more than a few times I will send an email home, but behaviors are dealt with in the classroom
In class we use a "take a break" area to go to by choice or asked to by the teacher
As a class we work on the Zones of Regulation and discuss our feelings. We practice identifying what feelings look like and feel like. Depending on how a student might feel they might choose to take a break to help with their feelings
we also work on tools to help us calm down when we are sad, tired, mad, frustrated, excited, etc.
