Turning In Assignments
After completing work, Miss V will tell you where you
should put it. Common places include:
● Finished Work Bin (for work that is ready to be
checked)
● Your Go Home Folders (for work that can be
kept at home)
● Your In-Progress Work Folder (for work that
you are still working on completing)
Finishing Work Early
When you finish work early, follow these procedures:
1. Show your work to Miss V
2. Complete the early-finisher task (if given by
Miss V)
3. Work from your in-progress work folder
4. Read independently and quietly from your
book box
Snack Procedures
You will eat your snack in the morning, and the
afternoon. Students have assigned seats for snack. If
students are being disruptive or displaying unexpected
behaviors, they will be asked to find another seat.
Students will be given a 2-3 minute warning before
snack is over. I will remind students to eat their snack
and not use all their time socializing. Please clean up
all of your trash and line up for recess. (Only morning
recess)
Homework
Homework will include extra practice in subject areas.
If you did not finish work during the day due to extra
talking or not giving your best effort, you may be
asked to complete it for homework (Parents will be
reminded if so).
Using Technology
When using iPads, chromebooks, or other technology,
use two hands, use your own login, ask questions, use
only assigned websites, and be respectful. If students
do not listen to teacher directions they will lose
technology privileges and have to complete another
assignment.
Working Independently
When working independently, students should be at a
Level 0 volume. If you have a question, please raise
your hand. Students should be working at their desks,
unless otherwise specified by a teacher.
Working in Pairs or Groups
When working collaboratively, students should be at a
Level 1-2 volume level. Students can work at desks,
on the rug, or at other classroom tables. If you are
unable to work appropriately with group members or
maintain your volume, you will be asked to return to
your seats.
Teacher Signals
When Miss V needs your attention she will either:
● Ring the chime in the classroom
● Say “Class, Class!”, and you will respond
“Yes, Yes!”
● Or clap a rhythm for class to repeat
After Miss V gets your attention you should stop what
you are doing, drop materials, put your eyes on Miss V
and listen to the important information.
Classroom Library
Our Classroom
We have a great classroom library for you to use. If
you would like to read a book, make sure to put it back
in the appropriate bin (it is labeled). If you would like to
take a book home, you must sign it out on the sign-out Student Name:
sheet. Be respectful and gentle with all books so
future classmates can use them!
Lining Up _________________________________
When leaving the classroom, you will be called to line
I have read and understand all procedures and
up. When your name or group is called, line up in front
of the door and signal you are ready to leave the
classroom by looking forward with your hands down
and voices off. You are expected to be at a Level 0 routines. I promise to follow these routines.
volume and walking single file when in the hallways.
Student Signature:
When the Phone Rings
If Miss V is unable to get to the phone and you are
near it, you may answer and say “Miss V’s class,
student speaking” and then wait until Miss V or
__________________________________
another teacher can get to the phone.
Leaving the Classroom
You must ask a teacher before leaving the classroom
for any reason. When leaving for the bathroom/ water
you must turn on the light by the door. Bathroom and
water trips are to be taken during morning work,
snack, lunch/recess, or when work is completed. You
may not go to the bathroom during a teaching time,
unless it is an emergency.
Classroom Bingo
The class can earn bingo points by following
classroom procedures and routines, being great
classmates, or doing something spectacular as a
class! When we get to 50, and 100 points the whole
class will earn a reward.
Classroom Jobs
Every student will have a classroom job to contribute
to the success of our classroom. You are expected to
perform the duties of your job. Failure to complete
your job in an appropriate way can result in a
loss/change of job, or a consequences.
Rewards and Consequences
I will have a spot in my classroom where students and
I track their positive and negative choices on a chart.
This will allow me to praise the positives that I am
seeing throughout the classroom (with a punch in their
punch card), as well as reset the negative behaviors
that might surface.
Fun Friday Time & Punch Cards
Students will all be able to participate in fun Friday,
however, if they haven’t gathered all the punches on
their punch cards for the week, then they will not be
given the choice to move to another classroom’s fun
Friday activity. Punches are given out when my
students show that they are going above and beyond
with their school work, as a friend, or as a helper in the
classroom.
Morning Routine
Each morning, the students are expected to enter the
classroom and complete the following tasks:
● Put backpacks in your cubbies
● Make your lunch choice
● Listen respectfully and quietly while
participating in morning meeting, and stand
for the pledge of allegiance
● Use the bathroom or get a drink before we
start our lessons for the day
Entering the Classroom
When you enter the classroom after specials, lunch,
recess, or other activities, you are expected to come
quietly to the rug and wait for directions.
In some cases, Miss V will tell you before heading
back to the classroom what materials you will need
and where you should sit. If she doesn’t, then go to
the rug and wait for directions.
Attendance and Lunch/Lunch Bin
Every morning, students will write the appropriate
lunch choice for the day on the Ipad. This will let Miss
V know you are here.
S- School lunch, H- Home lunch, M- Milk
Transitions
When transitioning, you are expected to quickly and
quietly put away the materials you are using, and
come back to the rug for the next activity. The
expectation is that the class transitions in 1-2 minutes
and are ready to learn. Failure to transition quickly
and quietly, will result in the class having to come
back to the rug and try again. This might push our
time back and take time away from other activities,
like recess, in our day.
Pack-Up/Dismissal Procedures
At the end of the day students will complete the
following tasks:
● Complete their end the day classroom job, or
pick up 3-5 materials or trash on the floor if
they don't have an end of the day job
● Put folder in backpack (new info added in
folder every Friday)
● Grab their backpack/coat from their cubby and
sit at their snack spot
● Wait patiently in sat as I read aloud to them
and wait for dismissal
● Put up your chair as you leave the classroom
Supplies/Desk Organization
Every student is responsible for keeping his/her
supplies in their desk organized. Miss V will do “desk
checks” to ensure you are organized. Organization
makes for smoother transitions and more learning time!
Shared classroom materials (clipboards, whiteboards,
etc.) are to be treated respectfully and put back neatly.
Sharpening Pencils
If you need a pencil sharpened, place it in the pencil
sharpening bin, and it will be sharpened at an
appropriate time. You may not sharpen pencils when a
teacher is teaching or during independent work. Just
simply grab a new one from the already sharp bin.
Noise Level Expectations
Miss V will tell you which noise level the classroom is
expected to be at during working times. Refer to the
following levels:
Level 0- totally silent, independent working times
Level 1- whisper, only one person can hear you
Level 2- talking quietly, working with group members
Level 3-speak loudly, sharing thinking with the class
Level 4-outside voice, never used in the classroom
