DISTRIBUTING PAPERS
Papers will be given to the Paper Passer and he or she will pass them
out to the class.
COLLECTING PAPERS
The Paper Bin will be passed around the room. When it arrives to the
desk of each student, they are to put their paper(s) in the bin.
Whenever it gets to the last student, they are to bring it up to the front
of the class and place it on the teachers desk.
FLOOR PLAN
The desks that students will be seated at will be moveable desks,
which make it easier to clear out of the way in case an activity is to
occur. A moveable podium, SmartBoard and white board will be at the
front of the class. To the left there will be a piano and the right, the
teachers desk. There will be large spaces to the left, right and the
back of the classroom. Bulletin boards will be hung all around the
room. Orff instruments will be in the back of the room. By the door,
there will be a table with the tardy notebook, the bathroom passes and
hand sanitizer.
BEGINNING CLASSROOM SEATING ARRANGEMENT
Students seats will be arranged in a half circle, with the educator in
the center. This ensures that no matter where students are in the
room, all eyes are on me.
ADDITIONAL CLASSROOM SEATING ARRANGEMENTS
I would prefer to have moveable desks in my room. This would make it
a great deal easier whenever we complete group work. The students
would simply push their desks together up to groups of four.
SEATING ASSIGNMENT METHOD
On the first day, students names will be posted on their desks. These
name cards will be kept on the desks until students know where to be
seated. The first seating arrangements will be based on alphabetical
order.
SOCIO-GRAM OF CLASS
After the first quarter (seats will change quarterly) I will allow the
students to choose their own seats. If I find that the students are off
task and noisy due to these seat changes, I will re-arrange them.
Students will be warned of this before choosing their seats.
CLASS CONTACT LIST
Students name
Emergency contact 1 (name, relationship to student, at least one
phone number, address, email)
Emergency contact 2 (name, relationship to student, at least one
phone number, address, email)
WORKING TOGETHER IN GROUPS
Groups will be teacher chosen AT ALL TIMES. This will be done by using
the Spin the Wheel app.
Each student is assigned to his or her own task. With this in mind
1. Students are responsible for his or her own work.
2. Students are to ask a support buddy for help if he or she has a
question.
3. If a group member asks for help from a student, they are to offer
help.
4. Students may ask for help from the teacher when the group agrees
on the same question. (Wong and Wong, 181)
CLASSROOM RULES
1. Remain quiet when the teacher or a classmate is talking
2. If you have a question or comment, raise your hand silently until
the teacher calls on you to speak
3. Keep hands, feet and objects to yourself at all times
4. Be respectful and mannerly towards the teacher and classmates
5. Keep your voice down to an inside level
CLASSROOM CONSEQUENCES
1. Name written on board (warning)
2. One tally mark : Meeting with teacher after class
3. Two tally marks : Meeting with teacher and parents called
4. Three tally marks : Meeting with teacher, principal and parents
It is important not to stop the lesson when issuing the tallies (Wong
and Wong, 141). There will be a poster with the meaning of the tallies
that the students can refer to throughout class.
Names and tallies will be erased at the end of the week.
CLASSROOM REWARDS
If the entire class displays appropriate behavior, they receive five
marbles in a jar at the end of the day. When the students jar is
filled, they receive a free day, which results in a movie
(musical). After the free day, the jar will be emptied and it will
start over.
At the end of the class period, the student who had the best
behavior will be chosen as the line leader.
Students names will be written in stars and posted on a bulletin
board in the room (the Star Students board). If students receive
a tally anytime throughout the year, their name will be taken
down. At the end of the year, the remaining Star Students will
receive a certificate, congratulating and thanking them for their
good behavior.
Positive stickers will be placed on work that students completed
well.
RECOGNIZING POSITIVE DISCIPLINE
Whenever I notice a student is on their best behavior, I will write them
private post-it notes thanking them.
Monthly emails will also be sent out to parents to let them know that
their children are doing well in class.
BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION
When students receive a tally next to their name, they will have a
meeting with the teacher. In this meeting, I will explain to them why
their behavior was inappropriate for class and why I did not appreciate
it. I will then ask them how they can correct their behavior for next
time.
If they receive more tallies they will be having meetings with the
principal and parents as well.
they are to get signed will be posted on the front of the board. When
they come in the next day, they are to place it on their desks and wait
until the Paper Bin comes around to collect them.
They are also to bring in a list and/or pictures of their favorite musical
things to hang up on the About Me bulletin board.
