Reflection

To ensure that we have a wonderful school year, we need to have a set of clear expectations. These expectations will help make sure we are learning to our fullest potential and stay safe at school. I am looking forward to a fantastic school year!

I’m so glad to have you in our class!!!

Each morning, you will walk quietly to our classroom. When you enter the room, please remain quiet and:

Unpack your belongings

Place any behavior sheets, transportation changes or notes in the teacher’s basket

Get your chair and have a seat at your desk

Begin your morning work

Early finishers may read a book quietly or complete any unfinished work

In our classroom we will all follow the Starry Rules.

1. We will keep our hands, feet and other objects to ourselves.

2. We will tell the truth.

3. We will talk nicely to everyone.

4. We will borrow and give back.

5. We will say and do nice things for each other, we will be positive and treat things with respect.

6. We will wait our turn to talk.

7. We will play fair and follow the rules.

8. We will be respectful when we talk and when we work

together.

9. We will listen when someone with role power tells us to do

something even if we don’t like it.

10. Rules can be added at any time.

You can receive a PRIDE ticket for following any one of the Starry Rules.

The following rewards are given in exchange for PRIDE tickets:

15 PRIDE tickets-Enjoy a piece of candy

25 PRIDE tickets-Homework Pass

50 PRIDE tickets-Sit next to a friend in class

75 PRIDE tickets-Bring a friend to the classroom for lunch (2 people)

100 PRIDE tickets-Bring 2 friends to the classroom for lunch (3 people)

125 PRIDE tickets- Bring 3 friends to the class for lunch (4 people)

A think sheet will be given immediately, if your behavior

warrants one.

You must complete it, explaining:

what you did

why you behaved in that manner

what a better choice would be

You and your parent must sign the think sheet and

return it to school.

Walk slowly to the food line and table

Use quiet indoor voices– level 1

Clean your area and throw your trash away

before you leave

When lining up to go to recess, walk to your line

and wait quietly

Students who do not behave appropriately in

the cafeteria may lose lunch with their friends

and/or recess the next day. You will also have

to review the cafeteria rules.

When we go out for recess, we must follow rules

in order to stay safe:

No touching, pushing, hitting of any type is allowed

Remain in the designated area only. Do not walk to

any other place without teacher’s permission

When the teacher blows the whistle, follow

procedures to line up and walk in an orderly manner

Students who do not behave appropriately on

the playground may have to owe recess the

next day and review the recess rules.

What is the correct way to play at recess?

Why is it important to follow rules at

recess?

We will take restroom breaks as a class throughout the day.

You may use the restroom at other times of the day in the

event of an emergency. You must follow the rules below:

Do your business , wash your hands and leave the

restroom in a timely manner

Do not talk in the restroom. This is not a place to

socialize

Do not play in the restroom

Why is it important that we don’t play in the

restroom?

Do you have any questions about this?

Now let’s practice this procedure.

Line up quietly and in an orderly manner

Walk quietly, in a straight line

Eyes are looking to the front

Feet must remain on the third square from

the wall

Arms must remain at our sides. We must

not touch the wall or a classmate

Why is it important to line up quietly and walk in

an orderly manner in school?

What would happen if we ran crazily and

shouted throughout the school halls?

Do you have any questions about this?

Now let’s practice this procedure.

After we wrap up our last lesson of the day, I will have you stay at your desk until I call your name and say, “Pack and Stack” then you will do the following: Stack your chair

Get your folder and put in your back pack

Line up in your designated line (VS, Parent Pick-up or Bus).

It is important to stay quiet in line so you can hear your group called for dismissal on the intercom. Once your group is called you can walk to that area.

During a fire drill- the alarm may sound

Line up QUICKLY AND QUIETLY!

When you exit the classroom you will head toward the nearest exit and walk to our designated area

It is important that you remain completely silent while walking toward the designated area

The last person will close the classroom door

Once we reach the designated area, your teacher will take role and notify the administration if anyone is missing

What would happen if we did not follow all of

these rules?

Do you have any questions about this?

Let’s practice a fire drill.

A siren will sound over the intercom but you will not

hear any instructions

YOU MUST REMAIN QUIET!

We will stay in our classroom since it is a tornado

safe room.

You will take the cover position

on your knees

hands over head

facing the wall

Continue this until the all clear sounds

What would happen if we did not follow

all of these rules?

Do you have any questions about this?

Let’s practice a tornado drill.

Inside

To protect yourself from falling objects, take cover in the following way:

○ Get beneath your desk and cover your head with your hands.

○ If no cover, go against an inside doorway or crouch down against an inside wall and cover your head.

Important!!!

Stay away from outside walls and windows.

Outside

Quickly move away from the building and

overhead electrical wires

Lie flat, face down and wait for the shocks to

subside

Do not re-enter the building until

told to do so.

What would happen if we did not follow

all of these rules?

Do you have any questions about this?

Let’s practice an earthquake drill.

In this situation the following announcement will be

made over the intercom:

“ATTENTION! ATTENTION! TAKE

IMMEDIATE ACTION! LOCK DOWN! LOCK

DOWN! LOCK DOWN!

No one will leave the room!

I will lock the door, turn off the lights and cover the

windows.

You MUST BE QUIET and move to an area in the room

that is away from the door and out of view of windows.

We will wait until we get an all clear from police.

What would happen if we did not follow

all of these rules?

Do you have any questions about this?

Let’s practice an intruder drill.

Why do we need to follow rules at school?

What could happen to our school if students make a

choice not to follow rules?

What could happen to the students who decided not to

follow rules?

How would YOU benefit from following rules ?

I created this PowerPoint to be used in future school years. During the first couple of days there is an abundance of information that I need to review with my students about rules, expectations and drills. This is a great way to ensure that I cover everything that I need to and that I stay on track. Plus, by pairing audio and visual learning styles, I can reach all my students.

I did not find this assignment to be difficult but it was very time consuming. I did enjoy the fact that we were able to chose a topic of our choice, which allowed me to create something that I could use in my classroom. I feel that is why I did not mind putting in so much time.
