How Do
We Start the day?
All students should sit outside
of Room 401 until
How do
we end the day?
At
Mrs. Pond’s expectations
1.
WHEN IS YOUR WORK COMPLETE AND ACCEPTABLE?
A.
Your work is completed when it is checked
off and highlighted by my assistant, a substitute, or myself on your work plan.
B.
Your work is acceptable when it meets the
“HOW” standards and 100% of your work is correct.
C.
NEVER SAY: “I AM FINISHED WITH MY
WORK.” If you complete the assignments
given to you for that day, then YOU CHOOSE WORK to practice on or work on areas
of interest. There is always room for you
to learn and practice more. Good
behavior in the class will result in you choosing from the Reward List.
2.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOUR WORK IS NOT
ACCEPTABLE OR COMPLETED?
A.
If your work is not at 100%, then you are
expected to redo your work. Seek help
from a friend or an adult.
B.
If your work is not completed then you are
expected to complete it either at home as homework, or if you don’t complete at
least five or six assignments before lunch then you will not have recess. You will stay in the room to complete your
work.
SO TRY HARD AND DO YOUR
BEST!!
3.
HOW DO YOU GET HELP?
Find the teacher or
assistant and tell us you don’t understand.
If the teacher is teaching a lesson you need to find another work to
work on and wait for the teacher to get finished. DO NOT INTERUPT ANY LESSONS THAT ARE BEING
TAUGHT! We are here for you, but you must TRY FIRST! Read and reread ALL directions and
information before asking for help.
4.
HOW DO YOU GET CHECKED OFF ON YOUR WORK
PLAN?
Your work will be
checked off every day. If we are at
our desk we are available to check work.
DO NOT STAND AND WAIT ON A TEACHER WHO IS BUSY
BECAUSE YOU NEED YOUR WORKPLAN CHECKED OFF.
If there are already four students in line DO NOT
COME UP! Work on something else
until the line is
shorter. Work may also be turned
in for me to check when
you go to library or other resources.
Work plans
are to be turned in at Writer's Workshop. This is not a time to bring
work up to be checked.
5.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU LOSE YOUR WORKPLAN?
If you lose your work plan you are
still expected to complete
work assigned to you. I will not
give you another one. You
may make your own and time permitting I will mark off
assignments already completed. Parents may copy
extras off the website.
6.
WHO’S RESPONSIBLE FOR CLEANING UP?
EVERYONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CLEANING UP.
Neatness is very
important to me. This is not just my
classroom, but it is also yours.
That means you keep your
workspace and storage area clean and neat. Loose papers
should
not be in your cubby! A folder will be provided
for you
to keep workplans and loose papers.
All work areas, (rug,
or
table) need to be clean at the end of the day. (Unless
you are in the middle of a work and have spoken to me.)
If you have a job of the week, I expect you to do that job.
7.
HOW DO I HANDLE THE MATERIALS IN THIS
ROOM- MEANING BOOKS, SUPPLIES, AND WORK?
All materials have a “home” or place to be put. The classroom is labeled and there should be no reason not to get that material in its right place. If you are unsure where to put something, please let someone know. If the material is numbered, make sure it goes back in the right order. Books should be put back properly also. (Spine out, colored dot at the bottom, with other books with similar dots) If you see a mess, clean it up. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!
YOU ARE SMART AND CAPABLE OF DOING ANYTHING!!
TRY HARD AND ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST!
THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORDINARY AND
EXTRAORDINARY IS THE LITTLE EXTRA!
