How I Run My Love and Logic Classroom:
I will treat you with respect, so you will know how to treat me. Feel free to do anything that doesn’t cause a problem for anyone else. If you cause a problem, I will ask you to solve it. If you can’t solve the problem or choose not to, I will do something. What I do will depend on the special person and the special situation. If you feel something is unfair, whisper to me, “I’m not sure that’s fair,” and we will talk.

Being IncREDible Looks Like
Responsibility Prepared and on-time to learn Turn in work on time “Excuses Stop Here” ---- if you need more time, then I need a note from a parent or guardian. If absent you have 2 days for each day missed to make up missing work Check out our Google Calendar on my school homepage for past assignments and information Bring supplies to class every day. Attend class If you are absent then it is your responsibility to make it up. Follow class directions I will do my best to stay consistent so you know what is expected. Always try…. If you need a minute ask for it…. Anger/Tears/Negativity aren’t the answer

Being IncREDible Looks Like
Excellence Strive to be “Your” Personal Best on your school work. Fair isn't everybody getting the “Same” ...Fair is getting what “You” need to be successful. Don’t be surprised if I’m not “okay” with less than your best. Keep a working “Attitude” Practice make “permanent progress” ….. The need to be perfect is exhausting I want be help you bring out your full potential We can’t be “okay” with less than your best. If today is a bad day, then let's plan on tomorrow being a better one.

Being IncREDible Looks Like
Determination Solve Problems...don’t make them If you cause a problem I will ask you to fix it. If you can’t or won’t then I will help you. This is a reading class…. All other “stuff” doesn’t belong. Ask Questions I can’t help if I don’t know. If you feel uncomfortable asking then give me a note, or ask to find a time to talk in private.
