Teacher to Student
No matter what kind of day we are having, I promise to always display these three core behaviors toward every single student in this room.
What is be helpful, kind and respectful?
Teachers appreciate this quality when a student focuses entirely on the speaker without distractions.
What is be a good listener?
You practice this basic safety rule by maintaining personal space and avoiding rough play.
What is keep hands and feet to self?
When a guest or visitor enters our classroom, this is the very first polite action you should take to welcome them.
What is greet them?
To stay hydrated without missing lesson details, this is the best and most respectful time to ask for a water break.
What is independent work time?
When someone else is speaking during a lesson or a class discussion, this is the main rule I must follow to show that you have my full attention.
What is don't interrupt?
You show your teacher you are engaged in the lesson when you raise your hand, share ideas, and do this during class discussions.
What is participation?
This four-word phrase is great advice to avoid making mistakes in anger or hurting a classmate's feelings.
What is think before you act?
When a guest visits our room, your ultimate goal through smiling, offering a seat, and being polite is to do this for them.
What is make them feel welcomed?
When taking a quick mental rest between tough activities, you should stay in one place and keep this volume level so others can keep working.
What is a volume level 0?
Because everyone learns differently, my goal as your teacher is to do this for you, instead of just giving everyone the exact same thing.
What is give students what they need, not "fair"?
Instead of just complaining about a difficult situation, a student should strive to be this.
What is problem solver?
Compliments, encouragement, and polite greetings are all ways that students can choose to do this.
What is use kind words?
When visitors come to our classroom, this 7-word expectation reminds us to answer their questions politely, open doors, and treat them with consideration.
What is be helpful, kind and respectful?
When leaving the room for a quick drink or restroom trip, this is the maximum number of minutes you should be gone before it becomes a distraction.
What is two to three minutes?
If you are confused about a lesson, stuck on a problem, or just curious about a topic, I promise to always make time to do this for you.
What is answer your questions?
When a student waits for others to finish speaking before sharing their own thoughts, they follow this rule.
What is don't interrupt?
These core values are shown when you value your peers' differences and demonstrate these welcoming traits by inviting a lonely classmate to sit at their table.
What is be respectful, kind, inclusive and friendly?
When a guest teacher fills in for the day, this 6-word expectation reminds us not to break normal rules or goof off just because our regular teacher is gone.
What is don't take advantage of subs?
To make sure our hallways stay quiet and everyone can be accounted for, this is the maximum number of students allowed to leave for a break at any given moment.
To help you feel confident and proud of your hard work, I will consistently look for opportunities to do these two things for you.
Yes and it is the teacher's job to make it.
This simple, four-word piece of advice is all a teacher truly asks of you, regardless of the final grade.
What is do your best?
Found in many cultures and religions, this ethical maxim states that you should treat others the way you want to be treated.
What is the Golden Rule?
If a classroom visitor walks up to your desk, you should be ready to do these two things to help them understand our lesson.
What is answer their questions and explain what we are working on?
Before standing up to grab water or use the restroom, this is the silent physical signal and system you must use to get permission without interrupting the teacher.
What is hand signal and sign out?
