2. Teaching Style
We ask more questions than we answer. Our goal is to lead students to discovering the answers themselves.
We will challenge student responses even if they
are correct.
We do not like busy work.

3. Rules Love and respect God Observe and listen to the teacher
Value everyone and everything
Every day give my best

4. Behavior Purple—This is for exceptional behavior
Green—(Ready to learn.) Everyone starts here each day.
Yellow—This is a warning for minor infractions.
Blue—The student received multiple warnings and
needed to be temporarily removed from an
activity.
Red—The student either chose to continue to commit
infractions despite redirection. Student will
receive a phone call and/or will be sent to the office.

10. Bible
Bible verses are grouped into 5 week chunks. Each week, students will build on to the verse until the fifth week. The purpose is help students learn a verse very well instead of only briefly remembering several verses.
Students will receive their new verse on Monday and will be tested on Friday orally or with a cloze (key words from the Scripture are missing and have a quiz.
