Guest Teacher Plans

Per. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9
Room 306
Welcome! Thank you for being here. I know you will enjoy your time at
CVMS. We have a well-behaved group of 6th graders, you should have no
problems. You will have the same group of students for 2nd period and 3rd
period, one new group for 4th period, and the same group of students for 6th
period and 7th period.
A few rules my students follow:
1. The bell does not dismiss students, the teacher does.
2. Students should always be showing the teacher SMART (S-Sit up straight
M-Make eye contact A-Act interested R-Respect the teacher T-Track the
teacher). If you say Show me SMART They will adjust themselves and do
so.
3. Students should always be showing respect in the classroom. If you see
this occurring add a point to the note card on the wall corresponding to the
correct period.
4. Students who are not showing respect get strikes. Please give students
strikes and keep track of who has strikes and I will have them serve their
consequence when I return.
Students who finish anything early may:
Work on May-dos Listed on a small white board.
Seating charts are in the yellow folder. The class officer for each period
will take attendance each period. Please feel free to write down any names
or notes of students who showed excellent behavior and names of students
who made wrong choices. Everything you need is labeled and on the back
counter. Thanks again!
Diane Putrus
Please rate each class 1-10 (1= made the wrong choices 10= awesome!)
