Rules vs. Procedures

Rules• After 5 years I expect you

know the rules.• As a 5th grader you will

focus more on procedures rather than rules.

Procedures• Use May I, Please, and

Thank You as often as possible.

• Put 1st things 1st.• You must sign out and

place your name stick identifying where you are going when leaving the room

• HW is an expectation• Consequences do occur

Procedures Continued• Check Mailboxes several times daily• Morning Work is usually handwriting but

not always• Use your Student Agenda (not an option)• Reward System: You better believe I have

one• Student Supplies are available and labled • Announcements TRUMP all activities

other than breathing. (that means SILENCE!)

Closure

• “In grades K-3 you learn to read. At grade 4 and the rest of your life you read to learn.”

• “Some of the things I’m best at are the things I’ve messed up the most.”

You should be comfortable here.

• Perhaps not that comfortable.
