Classroom Rules for Reading 7

Classroom Rules

1. Be where you’re supposed to be when you’re supposed to be there, doing what you’re supposed to be doing.  
Important detail: Cell phones should be turned off and put away during class time.    
Important detail:  We will have quiet, individual reading time.  It is important for everyone to be reading quietly and not bothering each other.  There will be other times to consult and share.

2. Be kind. 

3. Be attentive and responsive.    (No fidget spinners or other nuisance items!)  

4. Be good to the stuff.

  a. Don’t do damage.

  b. Put it where it belongs.

Some specifics:

or other nusaince items 

           Especially for this classroom:  

                 WE ARE A SCENT-FREE ZONE. 

  Please avoid using perfume, cologne, and other scented products.  

At the End of Class

                    You are NOT excused by the bell.  

Wait to be excused by the teacher. 

Not this!

          This!

Drinks and Food

• I encourage you all to bring to class water in a clear bottle.
• A hydrated brain learns best.
• Do not bring food or candy unless I have announced a party. 
• If I hand out a treat, you may eat it in class.
• If you have a medical need, you should let me know, and you may eat a snack as needed.
• Gum is okay as long as we don't have to see or hear it, or find it on the floor or under desks or other inappropriate places. 
• Did you know you should wrap used gum in a tissue or other paper before throwing it away? 

The bottle above is an extra-cool water bottle, 
but please bring only see-though bottles.

No candy or treats except when I hand them out,
or when it is our Readathon!
