Classroom Expectations

  • Classroom Rules and Expect

ctations

  • We decided these as a classroom community
  • “C

“Caught D Doing G Good” j jar

  • I reward students when they go above and beyond the classroom

expectations by putting pom-poms in our “Caught Doing Good” jar.

  • The students decide as a class what they are working towards.
  • Pom-Poms are NEVER taken away from the class – once they are earned,

they stay!

  • Logica

cal co consequence ces are give ven when rules are broken.

  • 1. You break it, you fix it
  • 2. Loss of privilege
  • 3. Rest-stop
