Classroom Expectations - The Three "R's"
At the beginning of the year, my students have the opportunity to discuss the three rules that I have for my classroom, and determine "That's Okay, That's Not Okay" behaviors during instruction time, group work time, and individual work time.
1. Be Respectful.
2. Be Responsible.
3. Be Resourceful and be prepared!
I believe that when students are in control of their own behavior, classroom management is much easier. So, I don't have a long list of rules that I create. In groups, students discuss what the "Three R's" might mean, and then as a whole class, they create a poster of acceptable and unacceptable behaviors.
Students are asked to come prepared for class - have your materials and something to write with. I have supplies that students can borrow, but you need to have your own as well. At the beginning of class, sharpen your pencils (I recommend having two, or carrying the lead for mechanical pencils), have your agenda and copy the assignments from the board, and bring your notebooks, DOL books, and other items needed.
