Why shouldn't we let our partner or group mates do all of the work?
It is not fair to them to have to do everything. You are not learning if you don't do the work.
List one thing in the classroom that you should worry about, and 1 thing you should not worry about.
Should: Your words, your actions, trying your best on your work, keeping your things neat.
Shouldn't: Other people's conversations, other people's actions, other people's work, what a teacher is saying to another student.
Why is it important to stay on task and do your job when Miss Corey is working with another group.
It is distracting to everyone if you are goofing off.
Goofing off means you are not learning what you are supposed to.
It is very unfair to the group Miss Corey is working with if she has to stop teaching to talk to you.
Why don't we run in line?
We don't want to trip and hurt ourselves or our classmates.
Why shouldn't we play with the light switch in the bathroom?
There are no windows in the boys or girls rooms. When the lights are off it is completely dark. If someone is in there then they cannot see and could easily hurt themselves.

You will no longer be aloud to work with a partner or in a group.
You will not have learned the skill we were working on.
Any work you don't finish you will have to so at recess.
List one way you can be respectful to a classmate and one way you can be respectful to a teacher.
Classmate: Listen when they are speaking. Congratulate them when they do a good job/are chosen. Apologize if you did something mean to them.

1. All of 2nd grade uses that bathroom and no one likes to have to use a gross bathroom.
2. Our custodians work hard to keep our bathroom clean and sanitary. It would be unfair to make them clean up messes that we can take care of ourselves.
Name 2 reasons why we shouldn't pout when Miss Corey assigns us a partner or group to work with.
1. It is important wo work with lots of different people so we can hear everyone's ideas.
2. I will hurt someone's feeling if you behave like you don't want to work with them.

Tommy, I don't like it when you tap your pencil because it is distracting me from my work. Can you please tap on your leg instead? Thank you!
Why shouldn't we bother Miss Corey when she is wearing her "Don't Bug Me" headband.
