2 Room A-213 – Classroom Expectations
SWBAT distinguish between actions and climate of a classroom that makes it positive and a classroom that is negative SWBAT describe expectations for behavior, and explain how following these expectations will prepare them to meet their mission

3 Read Aloud As your teacher reads the first chapter of The Skin I’m In and you watch a few scenes from Lean On Me gather ideas for what you think makes a positive classroom and a negative classroom. (Use evidence from the read aloud and movie as well as your own prior knowledge to answer)

4 Positive Classroom  Negative Classroom Calm/Safe Respect Learning Work Hard Fighting/Scary People are mean to one another Kids do not learn People do not care

5 Summarizing our Conclusions
In a negative classroom, people are mean, teachers do not care, students do not learn, kids feel unsafe, people do not smile, the teachers and students are ok with not working hard and not achieving goals. In a positive classroom, we are productive (demonstrate a strong work ethic, use time wisely, listen actively, demonstrate perseverance, etc), we are communicative (communicate effectively, challenge each other intellectually, positive and supportive of one another, show compassion, etc), and we are self-perceptive (accept only quality work, take responsibility for our actions, love who we are). We want our classroom to be a positive classroom, because when classrooms are positive, more students learn and more students go to college. Going to college will help you reach your mission and be whatever you want to be in life.

6 Classroom and Academic Expectations

7 ELA

8 ELA Grading

9 Social Studies

10 Social Studies Grading

11 Classroom Expectations
The atmosphere in this classroom will be formal and academic, but comfortable. Students will work hard, learn social studies, and enjoy the process. If a visitor walked into our classroom during the day, what should they see?

12 I expect students to do the following things to make sure the classroom runs smoothly:
Attend class, and arrive on time. Have materials ready when the bell rings. Listen when others are speaking. Follow directions the first time they are given. Get permission before speaking. Be polite and respectful toward each other. Stay on-task and focused on your task.

13 Working Together in Groups
Each student in a cooperative group will have a task which will be assigned by teacher or determined by group members. Example of tasks: - Leader: keep group on task, make sure everyone is helping. Make sure group area is clean for dismissal. Checks basket before Go-Getter returns it. -Reporter: Read directions, make sure the group uses time wisely - Recorder: writes down ideas for group - Go-Getter: Gets and returns group materials. Gets papers for group. Get file folders for group. Supply checker. Do you have everything?

14 Daily Procedures

15 Warm-up Procedure Get out your composition notebook.
Read the warm-up question on the board. Write the warm-up header.\ Begin your warm-up. 5-7 sentences!! Do not wait for the teacher to instruct you to begin working. If you finish the warm-up assignment early, find something quiet to work on while others are finishing.

16 IF THE TEACHER Taps the Zenergy Chime
Stop whatever you are doing at that moment. Face the teacher and wait silently. Notify any classmates who haven’t noticed that the teacher has tapped the chime No talking or whispering. All of your attention should be given to the teacher.

17 Zenergy Chime One chime- LOWER your voices
Two chimes- STOP, LOOK, LISTEN Three chimes- time to PACK Up

Another signal use in class is “eyeball, click”. When I say “Eyeballs, You say “Click” Stop whatever you are doing Face the teacher and wait silently. Notify any classmates who haven’t noticed No talking or whispering. All eyes are on the teacher.

20 Tardy Procedure If you accumulate 3 tardy forms or more in one grading period, you will have a consequence (detention with teacher and/or a phone call to parents). If you accumulate 4 tardy forms or more in one grading period, an office referral will be written with the tardy forms attached.

21 IT IS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO GET MAKE-UP WORK WHEN ABSENT
Almost every child will miss a school day at some point this school year! Due to the sheer size of the 6th grade, it is impossible for teachers to keep up with them all! When your child misses a day they are expected to: Go to the “While You Were Out” Box in the classroom. Find the day(s) they were absent. Take all worksheets and assignments in the box. Turn in promptly based on Dent make-up work policy. Learning to Be Responsible!
