Classroom rules
What do you do when you get in class?
You hang up backpack on your chair, hand in your homework, check to make sure you have TWO SHARP pencils, and follow the instructions on the board.
What do you do if you come to school late
Enter the room quietly and hand in your late pass. Complete the morning procedure (hand in homework, check for 2 sharpened pencils). Whisper to a groupmate to ask what you may have missed.
What do you do when you walk in the hallway?
You walk quietly, in a straight line at a good pace.
How do you get your group to work together?
By taking turns talking, sharing and most importantly listening.
How do you ask for help in class?
You quietly ask your partner and group. If you still can't get the answer raise your hand quietly and wait.
Please name all five voice levels. Name each one at the volume they require.
Outdoor, speaker, group, partner, no voice
When we leave special what do we all say? What voice level do you use?
We use speaker voice to say "Thank you."
How many people is considered a group?
2 or more people.
What do you do if you have to use the bathroom?
Think about whether or not it is a good time to go. Check to see if the sign to the bathroom says it is open. Show the teacher the correct bathroom sign. Quickly and quietly walk to the bathroom so that you do not distract classmates.
How do we treat our books in the library?
Like we love them! We take good care of our books and make sure they are safe.
What happens to you when you get water or goes to the bathroom after the whistle is blown?
You might get wall detention and or lose your recess time.
What do you do if you broke a class rule, are feeling an uncomfortable emotion, or are having a disagreement?
I use the binder in the Calm Kit to first calm myself down. After I calm myself down I flip through the binder to reflect on what happened. I then write down my reflection and share it with Miss Maio. When I feel I am ready to return to class, I sit at my desk quietly. If I want to talk more about what happened, I tell Miss Maio when I give her my reflection notes.
What is the most important classroom rule?
ALL OF THEM!
When can I sharpen my pencil? What do I do if I need a sharpened pencil throughout the day?
Before school, during recess time or afterschool. You can also BORROW a sharp pencil from your table supplies.
My desk should be organized and should only include school supplies.
What should you do at recess?
You should make sure everyone feels included and look out for classmates who need someone to play with. You should be safe and keep your hands to yourself. You should also have fun!
What does a good working group look like?
They are sharing, helping, and encouraging others and getting your work or project done.
How do students line up?
I push my chair in when my table is called. I quietly walk on line and wait quietly.
How do we act during dismissal?
We get our bags quietly, then collect our homework and pack up quickly. Place our backpack on our chair and wait quietly for our afternoon meeting.
How should you behave in the cafeteria?
If you are on line to get school lunch, you should be paying attention and keeping a calm body. When sitting at a table you should make sure everyone is being included and keeping your volume level at a "group" volume.

Students talking quietly but not disrupting others.
