What should you do if you were absent?
Get your makeup work from the purple folder and complete it by the agreed-upon due date.
You have a question during a lesson, but Mrs. Paisley is giving important directions for an activity. You raise your hand and keep calling her name because you want an answer right away. What should you do instead?
I should wait patiently, raise my hand, and listen because it may not be the right time to ask my question.
During lunch, you finish eating and decide to walk around the cafeteria to talk to your friends without asking permission. What classroom/cafeteria expectation did you not follow?
I should stay seated unless I have permission to get up and should be respectful of cafeteria expectations.
You come into class and notice your friends are having an exciting conversation. You decide to join in before getting started, but you still plan to finish your work eventually. Why is this not following our morning routine expectations?
Morning time is for greeting friends quickly and quietly, getting materials, and starting work right away. Talking and delaying work wastes learning time.
Your class is lined up and waiting to enter another classroom. You are touching the bulletin board because you are curious about the display. Is this okay? Explain why or why not.
No. Students should respect classroom displays and keep their hands to themselves.
When can you go to the restroom?
During the scheduled restroom time or during a real emergency.
Why should you ask questions when you need help?
Asking questions is how we learn.
Your water bottle spills on the floor, and you leave it because you think someone else will clean it up. What should you have done?
I should take responsibility for my space and clean up my own spill.
