Our Learning Expectations

In our first week together, we collaborated to create our shared expectations of what GRIT looks like in our classroom.  That list of expectations is posted at the front of our classroom, and each student initialed that contract.  Throughout our time together, it is important to revisit those expectations and recommit to them. 

Specifically, in the week ahead we will be revisiting what our classroom expectations are for the beginning of our class time.  These are the behaviors that we agreed help our classroom run smoothly and fairly. 

Classroom Expectations:  Beginning our Class

Growth:

• Be aware of what we’re doing by reading the daily agenda slide projected at the front of the room. 
• Use the restroom BEFORE the bell rings to limit time out of class.

Respect

• Be genuine, relevant, and school appropriate in all forums (small groups, whole class).

Integrity

• Be prepared by having phone and ear buds away when you enter the room. 
• Have your weekly wordplay sheet out on your desk when the bell rings. You are ready to learn when class starts.

Togetherness

• Letting someone know what we’re doing in class that day if they’re not sure.
•  Support one another during low/highs by not talking when others are sharing.

Simply stated: If what you are doing interferes with your learning or someone else's, hurts someone’s heart, or prevents you from being your best self - you shouldn’t be doing it.

Let's start our semester off strong by working toward getting the most out of our learning time together.  This week we will focus on the behavior expectations for the opening of our class time.
