Welcome to Mrs. Smith’s Classroom Procedures and Guidelines

Who is Ms. Smith as a person? Things that I enjoy: --Reading --Talking to family and friends --Technology!! --Computers --Book --Students enjoy knowing that you are a REAL person! Sharing this type of information breaks down the invisible wall between the teacher and the student. It lets them know that you are a regular person who enjoys regular things outside of school.

Will Ms. Smith treat me fairly? Yes, Always!

Classroom Nuances

Classroom Discussions There are No stupid questions

Research Paper **Copy of “Successful Teaching” --Thank you Rosemary Wong! This is a life saver! --Thank you Mrs. Wong! The unique number paper grading system has saved me hours of valuable time! --Students have told me that they wish all teachers would agree on one heading. It is very confusing for them.

Finish Classwork Early “What do I do next?”

Phones Use the phones wisely

When a student is absent … When a student is absent

When there is drills… Students will calmly and silently follow the procedures of each drill.

Class Dismissal “Have a nice rest of the day!” The teacher dismisses you, not the bell. Do not start packing up prior to the bell. Wait until the teacher finishes and officially dismisses you with “Have a nice rest of the day!”

“I truly believe in your potential and I know that you have the ability to succeed! Have an awesome year!” – Mrs. Smith
