CLASSROOM RULES

Consequences

If these rules are broken, there will be consequences.

• Each child will start the day with 3 “lights”- red at the top, then yellow below, then green on the bottom.

• We will follow “stop-light” discipline. We will start with a warning. After the warning, one light at a time with be taken away starting with green and down the line.

Restroom/Drink/Office Trips

• We will have a very special way of leaving and returning to the room independently: – On the left and right side of the door there will

be 3 necklaces- one that reads “Drink”, one that reads “Bathroom”, and one that reads “Office.”

– The left hand side is for the girls and the right for the boys. These should be worn while making a quick and responsible trip to and from your destination.

– The student will need to raise there hand and ask permission to leave the classroom before collecting their necklace.

Transitioning to New Places• When we are leaving the class to go to lunch/recess or one of our

specials we will have a routine. It is called “1, 2, 3.”• I will prompt the class it is time to leave. • On the count of:

– 1-We will all clear our desks and put our belongings inside.– 2-We will all quickly and quietly stand and push in our chairs.– 3-We will make a single file line at the door. We will practice

“hugs and bubbles.” • A hug is used to keep our hands to ourselves and off the

walls. Our bubble will be a bubble in out mouths which keep us from talking!

Q & A• What if I forget my homework? First time there will be a warning. Second we

will remove a green light.

• What other forms of discipline may be used? The stop light method should work effectively but if there is failure in that then parents and principal will be

contacted.

• Why would you call my parents? If grades are failing or there seems to be a sudden, drastic change in behavior/attitude. Also, if we have discipline issues.

• Do we celebrate birthdays? Yes, students are allowed to bring quick and easy snacks. We will make time to share and celebrate!

•Are we allowed to have food and drinks in class? Yes, in the morning there is an allotted time for us to have a snack.

• Do I have a classroom job? Yes, each week 5 students will be chosen to fulfill one of our classroom jobs.
