Intro to the Classroom Rules and Procedures:
How the classroom rules and procedures will be decided: the students will help me in creating the classroom rules, I will ask them how they want to be treated, how they want me to treat them, how they want their peers to treat them, how they wish me to treat them, how they should treat the classroom or supplies, etc. Then we will all agree on our top rules we want to go by, and we will create a chart that will be posted in the classroom. I will then create a printout for each student to put in their notebook and have them sign their copy. This will ensure they know and follow the rules at all times. For the classroom procedues, I will walk them through all of the sections throughout the classroom, where their supplies are, where the math centers are, where the turn in boxes are, and model how a typical day goes in the classroom. I will aslo have these procedures posted in the classroom so the students are aware of how each day should look. I will also have test day procedures and holiday procedures for those special days where we will have to alter the day in any way!
Here's a short video of some of the basic rules!
