Keeping our classroom tidy and putting things away where they belong.

He rau ringa e oti ai - Many hands makes light work

We will achieve this by:

Putting our property away when we’ve finished into our tote trays
Knowing what jobs need to be done in the class and getting them done without asking
Hanging our bags and coats up on the hangers properly and our shoes on it too
Putting all game pieces away in the games cupboard in their boxes
Respect other people’s property
Help others out when they need a hand to clean up, even if you didn’t make the mess
Putting the felt tips, coloured pencils and jovis back in the proper containers
Staying in one area with our activity so it is easier to clean up afterwards
Treat people with respect and you will receive respect in return
Walk away when you are getting frustrated, using our ignoring muscles, use your words

Success Indicator:

We will have tidy and clean classroom
We will feel proud of our classroom
We will be a great team together
All of our equipment will be clean and tidy and not get broken on the floor
We will be really quick at cleaning up because we know where everything goes
We will be friendly and happy to have supportive friends around us
Our friends and adults will be proud of the positive choices we have made

Get out your MANA book, a pen or a pencil, a ruler (you may have to borrow one) and be ready to go!

Learn:

We will get our brains going each morning with warm ups.
We will practice maths and literacy a little bit each day until we remember it!
