Have a happy and safe summer! I look forward to seeing everyone this fall!
Mrs. Wollschlager's Classroom Procedures
Morning Routine
* Unpack your backpack and leave it in the hallway. Be sure all of the supplies you need are in the classroom with you. Returning to the hallway to get something will result in your name being put on the board.
* Turn in homework and notes to the bin on the back counter.
* Sharpen pencils because once class begins you may not sharpen a pencil. If you break a pencil you may borrow one from the back counter.
* Warm up: follow the directions on the chalkboard to complete the warm up (which may include journaling, sentence corrections or analogies)
* We will then check the warm up together as a class and then begin our lesson for the day.
Closing Routine
* Students will be asked to take out their assignment notebooks. Together as a class we will review the daily assignments. I will then check each student's notebook.
* Once a student's notebook is checked and initialed, they may get their backpack from the hall.
* Students are to wait quietly at their seats until their bus numbers are called. Once a student's bus number is called they may stack their chair, and they are dismissed.
Homework:
Homework will be assigned throughout the school year. Assignments will be discussed in class and posted on the chalkboard. Students will list their assignments in their assignment notebook, and take it home each night. During the first quarter of the school year, I will check and initial every student's notebook for completeness. During the following quarters, students will have notebooks checked and initialed on an individual basis.
Homework is to be handed into the appropriate homework bin on the back counter at the beginning of the school day the assignment is due.
Late Homework:
For each late assignment a student will fill out a homework notice which will be signed by the student, teacher, and parent. Also five percentage points will be deducted from the final score of the assignment for each day it is late.
*Each time a student is unprepared for class their name is written on the board.
Absent Work:
In the event that a student is absent, the student's homework buddy will collect the daily assignments for the absent student. These assignments can be picked up when the student returns from his/her absence or in the office at the end of the school day. For every day a student is absent they have a day to make up the missed work. For example, if a student is absent three days, then they have three days after they come back to make up the missed assignments.
In the event that an absence is known about prior to it occurring, it is school policy that assignments can not be given out prior to the absence.
Rules, Rights, Responsibilities and Consequences:
Students will be creating the classroom rules, rights and responsibilities. Consequences for not following the rules are as follows.
Name on the board = Warning
Name with 1 check = Loss of recess
Name with 2 checks = Loss of recess + Phone call home
Name with 3 checks = Loss of recess + Phone call home + Go see Mrs. Mrozak
Incentives:
As a reward for working hard and following classroom and school rules, the class will accumulate pennies. Once fifteen pennies have been earned students will get to vote on an activity of their choice. Possible choices for an activity could include a popcorn party, kickball game, and extra recess, free choice, or whatever creative and reasonable idea the students come up with.
A penny is earned if the class makes it through the whole day with no names on the board, if the class receives a compliment in the hallway for good behavior or when exceeding expectations.
Reading Logs
As part of our reading program students are to read twenty minutes daily at home. This reading is meant to be for leisure and can include novels, short stories, magazines, newspapers, or anything a student chooses. I ask that students fill out the reading log each night and turn in each page of the reading log as it is finished. As a result, I will only collect the finished page once every four weeks. Parents are to initial the reading log to ensure the student is reading.
Classroom Jobs
The classroom jobs consist of the following: clean-up crew, basket carrier, line leader, caboose, time keeper, mail helper, and personal assistant. New helpers will be chosen every Monday. When a student's name comes up in the rotation, they may choose a job as long as it is a job they have never done before. I will keep track of what job each student has done to ensure everyone receives a fair opportunity to choose the job of his or her choice.
