Classroom Community

Listen to each other! When someone is talking to you, look at them and turn your body towards them to let them know you are listening.

Respect each other!Mistakes will be made in this classroom!!! Don’t be

so hard on yourself and learn to laugh at your mistakes. Don’t laugh at others for that will hurt feelings.

Get along with one another!I can’t make you like everyone in this

classroom but you will be nice to everyone!

Morning Procedures

• WALK down the hall to the classroom• Come in quietly.• Empty your book bag at your desk. Get folders,

planner, iPad, and any other items out of your book bag at your desk.

• Hang book bag up • Make lunch choice on SmartBoard• Turn in folders in correct basket.• If you have a note in your planner I need to see it in the

morning!!!!!• Eat breakfast and complete morning work

Breakfast

• The first few students may pass out breakfast after they have unpacked!

• One student will need to pass out the paper towels and the others need to pass out the food.

• I will pass out the pizza. It makes a mess!!!• The juice and milk stays outside the door. Get what you

need. DO NOT drink all of the juice. Only get one!• Trash can manager needs to get the breakfast trash in

the hallways.

Morning Work

• This activity must be completed while you are eating breakfast!

• The assignment will be in your morning work packet.• When finish put it back in your desk after breakfast. I

will be walking around checking if I can. • If you do not finish you need to do sometime during the

day. If I see that you are not working during breakfast you will complete it during itinerant.

• At the end of the day you will place this on your desk before you leave.

Using the Bathroom

• You do not have to ask to use the bathroom!

• No lines at the bathroom and this is not the time to talk to others on the way.

• If I or anyone else is up speaking to the class, that is NOT the time to use the bathroom.

• If you make a mess in the bathroom clean it up.

Hallways

• I do not allow talking in the hallways.• If you see someone you know just wave at

them.• If someone is talking in the hallway, it is not

your job to tell me or tell them to be quiet!!! That will get you in trouble also.

• You are in third grade it is not cool to be the first in line! We are all going to the same place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you fight over someone passing I will place all students arguing in the back of the line!

Lunch Room

• Sit at the table that Mrs. Minter tells you to!• Use good manners. I and others don’t want to be

grossed out when eating lunch!• Get what you need when you go through the line. You

may buy extras but only 1 of each. Do not buy for other people. That’s a nice gesture but no! Do not ask for others packed lunch.

• If the class has silent lunch and you come to me and ask if we can talk I will add on 5 extra minutes.

• The cafeteria clean up crew will collect the stacked trays and silverware, clean the tables, and pick up trash.

iPads

• NO downloading pictures and I check regularly!• Only use the given background pictures! They should

be changed at home!• If we are not using them they must be up! I will catch

you if you are sneaking and using it during class!!!!!• You must charge them at night. When working on the

internet you should be on the correct website.

• 1st time rule broken: stays at school for 1 week• 2nd time rule broken: stays at school for the end of the 9

weeks• 3rd time rule broken: stays at school for the end of the

school year

assignments and spelling words in your planner on Mondays!

Work Habits

• You are expected to do your best on every assignment. This includes:

handwriting (if it is not neat you must repeat)showing work in Math ( I am not interested in just

getting the right answer but more of how you got it)writing complete sentences in all subjectsfilling out line paper correctly (let’s practice)paying attention in class talking while working unless it is group work

and then I expect you to talk!

You must try before you get help!!!!

Classroom Economy

• Everyone will have a chance to complete each job at least once.

• This has nothing to do with your behavior.• You can get a ticket and be fined from

employees for not having a clean desk.• You must keep your savings record neat and

up to date. • You will not visit the store every week but we

will let you know each month when you will go.
