QUESTIONS
How many of our classroom family members do you inquire with before asking Mrs. S?
Three!
You must ask Mrs. S to use the restroom.
No. Follow the Restroom Procedure and go.
True/False: If you do not want to do an assignment it is okay to quietly whisper with your neighbor.
FALSE: It is never okay to disrupt someone else's work time. If you do not want to work, you may sit silently. What you don't do/finish becomes homework.
Fill in the blank: A first warning is a ________ warning.
Free
Scenario: You have inquired with three classroom family members and you still do not have your answer. Just walk right up to Mrs. S and ask her.
No. You never walk right up to Mrs. S with a question (unless it is an absolute emergency). You raise your hand and wait for her to call on you.
True or False: You can use the restroom when Mrs. S is giving a lesson.
False! You will miss the lesson and be a distraction. You must wait until it is work time.
SCENARIO: You are working during work time, and a classroom family member comes up to you trying to talk/gossip/play. What should you do?
You can 1) ignore them, 2) firmly whisper to them that you are busy and you can talk on break time 3) raise your hand and ask Mrs. S to handle the situation.
True/False: A second warning means that I got my free warning already and now my daily citizenship grade is affected to a C.
True. A grade of a C is still passing, but you are dangerously close to slipping into a non-passing grade. Stay away from anymore warnings to stay passing for the day!
NO! Unless she tells you to come up, you ask your question from your desk.
How many opportunities do you have to use the restroom during a school day?
Four: AM recess (10:40-10:55), Lunch (1:00), PM recess (3:00-3:15) 1 free restroom pass.
SCENARIO: You do not understand an assignment, and the CHAMPS directions say C-level one and M-family, so it is okay to ask "three before me" on level one.
YES. As long as the directions say we can be on level one, and M-family (which means you can go to any family member, you can whisper to your classroom family members.
TRUE/FALSE: I messed up and got a third warning. Now my grade is an F for the day and I lose my recess to write a restorative action plan.
True. If you have been warned three times, that is too many for a 6th grader and it is time to work on a plan to help you achieve success.
If there is a true emergency, you do not have to raise your hand, you can come up to Mrs. S. Or, if it is a 9-1-1 situation, you can just yell it out!
YES! If something is going to hurt you/us, you are going to hurt someone, you have a true restroom emergency (emergency girl issues, diarrhea, vomit)...Can you think of any other emergencies?
Scenario: The "drive-thru" line is long and you have to be very badly. Like, you are about to pee on yourself. What should you do?
1. Without being a disruption, ask the next person in line if they would be willing to let you cut in line because you have an emergency. If they say no, ask the next person in line.
You do not understand an assignment, and the CHAMPS directions say C-level one and M-cohort, so it is okay to ask "three before me" on level one. Who are you allowed to ask three to?
Only your group/cohort. The M- says cohort, so we are not to be walking around and asking anyone in the classroom family.
TRUE/FALSE: A fourth infraction means I will get suspended.
False. You are not suspended, but you will have to call home and self-report your behavior, plus deal with the other three consequences from warnings one, two, and three.
Scenario: You and your entire table are totally lost and need help badly. Mrs. S is helping one of your friends who won't care if you interrupt. So, it is totally okay to walk over and interrupt.
NEVER! Everyone deserves Mrs. S' full attention and respect. You would not want to be interrupted, so do not do it to anyone else.
It is finally your turn to use the restroom. How long is an acceptable time to be gone?
3-5 minutes. If abuse this and are often gone longer than 3-5 minutes, Mrs. S will take away your restroom pass.
SCENARIO: You do not understand an assignment, and the CHAMPS directions say C-level 0 and M-seat/space, so it is okay to ask "three before me" on level one.
NO WAY!!!! C-Level 0 and M-seat/space mean this is silent individual work, and I need to raise my hand for Mrs. S.
Someone has gotten to a fifth warning. Mrs. S is not happy. The entire class has been disrupted several times. Our learning time has been taken away by this person. Mrs. Jackson has been notified and is coming to meet with you. If this happens ONE more time, what will happen?
A student-parent-teacher-principal meeting.
