Classroom Rules and Procedures

Our class has multiple procedures which we practice daily. We use American Sign Language for simple class words and commands, such as yes, no, help, please, thank you, you're welcome, bathroom, etc.. 

 

Of course, we follow the three R's of all Penns Valley Schools, but our class also decided on a set of Essential Agreements the first few days of school. We all agreed to follow them and signed them to show that we are prepared to have consequences if we are not able to stick to them. These rules include making safe choices and committing to things that are good for the entire community. 

 

Finally, we have set expectations for use of our flexible classroom seating. Students have agreed to make the best choice for their learning, to treat the special seat the careful way we treat classroom supplies, and that I may move them if they are showing they need a different space.
