Art Rules!

Here are the classroom rules...
  1. WHISPER VOICES when you want to talk with your friends during a working time.
  2. LISTENING BODIES when the whole class is listening to instructions.
  3. Follow the GOLDEN RULE!

This is what happens if you break a rule*...

  1. Everyone needs a REMINDER from time to time.
  2. If the reminder didn't work, you will be asked to MOVE to a new seat and you will LOSE BEHAVIOR POINTS.
  3. If you are still having a problem following the rules, you will be sent to THINK TIME.

* If you are caught doing something DANGEROUS (that could cause injury to yourself or someone else), you will be sent DIRECTLY TO THE PRINCIPAL and we will CALL HOME!

Remember, 'Every day is a new day, with no mistakes in it' (Anne of Green Gables). Yesterday's mistakes will not affect how I treat you today!

What and where is Think Time?

Kate said...

Tom - Think Time is our school wide discipline policy. A child who is out of control is sent to a neighboring teacher's classroom. There, he/she will sit until that teacher has a moment to meet with him/her. The child explains what he/she did wrong and what he/she should do to fix the problem. If the child can't or won't explain, then the neighbor teacher simply tells the child to sit and think a little longer. After the child finally comes up with a solution to the problem,he/she writes it down to present to his/her teacher. The child is not allowed back into the classroom without a solution in hand.
