Classroom Expectations
What do you do before exiting the classroom to go to the restroom?
Ask for permission, and then put your name in the sign-out sheet.
When it's time to line up to go back inside, what should you do?
Check for anything around you that needs to be brought back inside (balls, toys, etc), and then quickly and quietly get into your line and wait to be dismissed.
When walking in the hallway, how should your guys' line look?
Nice and straight.
If a member of your group has an idea or would like to say something, what should you do?
Stop talking and listen to what they have to say, it's important to be respectful.
Should any food or drink ever be thrown in the cafeteria or in general?
No, it is food. Not an airplane. Don't make a mess because you'll be the one cleaning it up.
When you want to tell the teacher something or share something with the class, what's the first thing you should do?
Raise your hand and wait to be called on.
If you and another student both want the same ball, what should you do?
Talk it out and find a way for both of you to be able to play with the ball at the same time. If that doesn't work, have one of you use it for the first half of recess and the other student gets it for the second half.
If we're walking past a classroom that has students in it, what should we do and what should we not do?
SHOULD NOT DO: Make funny faces or try and distract them.
If your teacher tells you that you can't be in a group with another student for a specific reason, what do you do and what don't you do?
SHOULD DO: Respect the teacher's decision and carry on with class.
SHOULD NOT DO: Start complaining/crying and reverting back to 1st grade.
True or False? If you spend all of your lunchtime talking with your friends and not eating, your teacher will let you finish your lunch in the classroom.
False. As false as false can be. False.
When you need help figuring something out while at your table, what should you do?
First you try your hardest, then ask your table partners to see if they know, finally you can raise your hand to get the teacher's attention.
When you and a fellow student are having a disagreement about the rules of a game, should you go and complain to a teacher?
No. If you and your classmate(s) cannot agree on how to play the game, you need to just walk away and find something else to do.
If while walking in the hallway you saw another student struggling with their emotions and they were acting out, what do you do?
You don't stare or point, you just keep walking forward minding your own business.
If you notice that a member of your group is looking/feeling left out, what should you do?
When it's time to leave the lunchroom, what should you do?
Make sure you didn't leave a mess and have thrown away all trash before quietly getting into line.
If you don't have your writer's notebook for any reason, what should you do?
Go over to the cabinet and grab a piece of notebook paper, you're not missing out on writing!
If you don't have enough people to play a game at recess, what should you do and what should you not do?
SHOULD DO: Ask around and see if anyone wants to join, if you still can't get enough people then you should find another game to play.
SHOULD NOT: Complain and cry because you can't play the game you want. Definitely don't ask Ms. Tucker or Mr. Brazil, because they would just beat you at the game anyway.
If you see Mr. Brazil being a bad example of how to walk in the hallway, what do you do?
Make sure to not encourage him, and be a good example of what walking in the hallway should look like.
True or False? When participating in a group, only one or two people need to do all of the work while the others sit around and do nothing.
False!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It should always be equal participation amongst all of the students working in the group.
Should there ever be trash left on a table after your class gets up to leave from lunch? Why?
No, because whether it's your trash or not, if you spot trash that was left behind you should go and pick it up.
When it is time to leave the classroom, what are the steps that should be taken?
Clean up your area, line up in line order, be quiet, and slowly walk out of the class once your teacher has arrived.
FALSE! HECKA FALSE!
When your teacher decides that the class did not show a good example of how to walk in the hall and decides that we should turn around and do it again, what should we do and what should we not do?
WE SHOULD: Not complain and turn back around, and when we're walking back we should thing about what we can do better the second time around.
WE SHOULD NOT: Complain a bunch, or intentionally do silly things so that the class has to restart again.
If you have extra snacks left over once lunch is done, what do you do?
You put them away in your backpack for the rest of the day... or you can give them to Ms. Tucker and Mr. Brazil.
