Classroom
Start the bellringer SILENTLY.
What should you always bring to library?
When is it acceptable to blurt out, roll on the floor, act out, or call others names in the classroom?
NEVER.
When is it acceptable to play games on my Chromebook?
I forgot a pencil. What should I do?
Borrow one from Miss Ahlrichs, then put it back after class. She thinks there is a pencil bandit on the loose since she always has no pencils!!
How should I show the teacher that I have something to say?
Raise your hand, we like to avoid blurting in our classroom.
What voice level do we walk down to the library?
A zero.
What are the reading log expectations?
Read 50 pages a week.
I borrowed materials from Miss Ahlrichs, but I'm done now. What should I do with them?
Put them away in the appropriate location.
When is it appropriate to use the calm corner?
We should ask first, but if our emotions are high or if Miss Ahlrichs says it's okay to do work in it.
What are our 4 core principles we show in our classroom?
Respect, responsibility, self-control, perseverance
Why do we walk down at a zero?
Other classes are in session.
How do I know when Miss Ahlrichs wants us to be quiet?
She will count down from 3 and we need to be silent by "thank you" or she will raise her hand, and others will too. Then we will close our mouths and end conversations.
My friend just pushed me kind of hard, what are the next steps I should take?
Take a breath, walk away and let an adult know (Miss Ahlrichs or other) so we can handle the situation all together appropriately.
I'm feeling off today. Tired, maybe frustrated, but I can't focus. What should I do?
Talk to Miss Ahlrichs.
Solutions can be: talk to the guidance counselor, going for a quick walk, getting a drink of water, go to the calm corner, or borrow a fidget.
How should I ask to use the bathroom/go to my locker?
Uh oh! There's a class in sub alt. I see my best friend, what should I do?
Give them a wave, but remember that you are in library so you don't interact with the sub alt students.
I missed a day of school. Miss Ahlrichs gave me the notes sheet for our grammar lesson. Where could I find the presentation to fill out my notes?
Schoology! Always and forever!
Can you have snacks in here? What about flavored drinks (Monster, Alani, Envy, etc.)?
Yes to snacks, no to flavored drinks.
It's silent reading for the bellringer. I forgot my book... What should I do?
Borrow one from Miss Ahlrichs. After, put it back appropriately. Please don't just throw it on the shelf.
Book, pencil/writing utensil, a CHARGED Chromebook, paper, AVID binder
What is expected you are doing the first 3 minutes of library and what can happen if you fail to follow this expectation?
Read or search for a book SILENTLY.
If fail to follow this I could: get an email sent home, lose my break, go to the office, receive a write up, or lose library privileges for the rest of the year.
I borrowed some headphones but now I'm done using them. What should I do with them?
Pick them up, wrap the chord, put them away nicely. Please avoid swinging them by the chord, they will break. Also, no more leaving them on the floor!
Miss Ahlrichs handed out the new months bellringer and reading log. What should I do with them?
A fun game called "Don't lose them for the month!"
Put it in your AVID binder, in your ELA folder, where they won't get lost.
My friend is being GOOFY today! They are shouting out, making noises, and playing sound board. What should I avoid doing and what might the consequences for my friend be?
I should not feed into their behavior. I should avoid laughing or commenting.
Consequences: email/call home, detention, office visit, Chromebook taken away for the rest of the day (and possibly the next day too), sent in the hallway, a write up, and lose break.
