Mrs. Kelly's Classroom Expectations

I have set up an assertive discipline plan for our class that I have found to work well. It is my belief that children need a warm, secure and comfortable atmosphere for the best learning to take place. In order to provide that kind of environment, a teacher must make it clear to the students what is expected of them. The students should understand the classroom rules and know the consequences that result when those rules are not followed.

There are four simple classroom rules:
1. Appropriate behavior is expected
2. Raise your hand before speaking
3. Be respectful to each other and their property
4. Follow the teacher's directions

Consequences will consist of losing minutes off their lunch recess,
minutes off their 2:30 club time, and/or if the behavior continues,
parents will be notified and/or student will be sent to the office.

The rules are posted in the room and we discussed them on the first day of school. However, your cooperation is vital. Please help your child understand that you are working with me to help him/her learn and that you will expect him/her to obey the rules. By showing your approval of good behavior you will help eliminate any unacceptable behavior which will help establish a positive and productive learning environment.
