Rules

1. Be Respectful

We need to agree that we will be respectful towards one another.  Students should speak respectfully to one another and their teacher.  Students should remain quiet while the teacher is talking or another student is asking or answering a question.

 

2. Be Positive

Come to class ready and eager to learn.  Have a good attitude towards the teacher, other students, and towards learning.

 

3. Be Responsible

Take responsibility for your own actions and choices.  Let the teacher know if you will be missing class.  Ask for help when you need it.

 

4. Follow Directions 

It is important that students follow directions for assignments and activities.

 

5. Do Your Best

Always try your hardest.  It is okay to make mistakes or sometimes get the wrong answer.  All that matters is that you do your best. 

 

Rules and Expectations

Expectations

1. Come prepared for class

I expect my students to bring their textbooks, their completed homework, their notebooks, their folders, their calulator, and a pencil.

 

2. Participate

I expect my students to participate in class discussions, groups discussions, and group activities.

 

3. Pay Attention

I expect my students to be engaged and listening.  I want them to know what we are discussing if they are called on.

 

 

 

Classroom rules are important.  They help us to create a community that will be respectful and that will support its members. Classroom rules inform students about what kinds of behaviors will be expected of them.  Finally, rules bring order to our classroom.  Below are my classroom rules and the expectations I will have of my students.
