During these early days of school, we have been talking a lot about our hopes and dreams for this school year. Seven students want to become a better writer, four want to become a better scientist, three want to become a better mathematician, two want to become a better reader, and one wants to become a better historian.
To create a climate where all students can achieve their goals, we have created the following rules for our classroom:
-Try hard
-Stay focused
-The Golden Rule
-Be independent
-Have fun!
Since students are human, rules will be broken at times. The following are the consequences for our classroom:
-Making reparations: "You break it, you fix it"
-Mishandling responsibility: more limits set
-Jeopardizing any one's safety or function (emotionally or physically): time-out
We are working together to create a safe and caring community of learners. I appreciate your support. Please feel free to call me if you have questions about these rules or my approach to classroom discipline.
Best,
Rachel
