  1. Classroom Procedures “Procedures build a happy, healthy classroom”

  2. Why do we need them? • Just like in all of life, there are ways you should respond when a certain situation pops up. • Our classroom is no different, I have an expectation that together we can keep our classroom in a state that is conducive to our learning processes

  3. Procedures vs. Rules • You might be wondering exactly what the difference is between the two? • Rules: Provide a consistent moral framework that our class will operate from! • Ex: how to treat your fellow humans :) • Procedures: Deal with day to day happenings • Ex: tardy, pencil sharpening, etc.

  4. Our Rules • 1. Encourage, encourage, encourage! • Respect your peers, don’t belittle. Biology is much easier when you have a team that believes in you cheering you on! • 2. Aim high, land high • Set relevant, inspiring and lofty goals. If you do, you will naturally rise to the challenge • 3. Nourish your body and brain • Bring healthy snacks and water with you, food enhances learning. Healthy snacks only, please!

  5. Our 12 Procedures • We have procedures for the following: • 1. Tardy 9. Family Stations • 2. Attendance 10. Attention • 3. Restrooms 11. Clean up • 4. Pencil Sharpening • 5. Food & Drink 12. Animals • 6. Lab Materials • 7. Homework • 8. Class Climate

  6. When You Are Tardy... • Steps: • Sign in at the door, place name, date and reason on the sheet. • Drop your pass (if you have one) in the bucket, if it’s in your planner, please write “planner” on the sign in sheet • All tardies are tabulated at the end of the day.

  7. Reporting Attendance • Attendance is CRITICAL for your success in the IB program! • Reported to Miss Fischer once ALL family members are physically present in class

  8. Restrooms... • Only allowed in extreme emergencies. • Should you need to go, you must wait for a break in activity to get permission. • Keep in mind, you have plenty of time between classes to accomplish everything you need to, IF you use your time wisely. • You could miss something important should you need to leave our room.

  9. Sharpening Your Pencil • Done before the bell rings. • Do not ask to do it after that time unless you have an emergency • ex: you break your lead and do not have a backup pencil.

  10. You Get Hungry... • Food not permitted on lab days (safety concern) • On lecture days you may bring a healthy snack & bottled water . • healthy snacks include nuts, fruits, protein bars. NOT candy bars or other sugar laden items, fruit juice is also a no.) • Food privilege will continue as long as there is no mess. (You can be responsible and enjoy this privilege year round!)

  11. Lab Materials Collection • To be done ONLY by the materials collector in your family.

  12. You Need to Hand in Your Homework... • All homework is handed in through the homework collector in your family. • Failure to follow this procedure can lead to a family penalty.

  13. The Class Climate • We are a community that will interact with each other on a daily basis. In order to maintain a classroom that is positive, safe and happy, students are expected to demonstrate the following behaviors: • Be respectful of others’ words, values and feelings • Smile often  • Laugh often 

  14. Family Stations • Each family is assigned a specific lab/activity station. • Your duties include: • 1. Check your area, remove trash. • 2. Check your materials box every day.

  15. You Hear A Bell…. • When Miss Fischer wants your attention you’ll hear a bell. • It is your cue to do the following • 1. Stop what you are doing • 2. Face Miss Fischer • 3. Await instruction/information • 4. Miss Fischer will let you know when to go back to work. Please do not continue to work, or restart your work till given the cue.

  16. Maintaining Your Desk Space... • Please check your desk area each day before you leave. • Pick up any trash before you go. • If the trash in your area is not yours, find its owner or pick it up yourself. • A clean classroom is a healthy classroom!

  17. Interacting With the Animals... • Please respect the animals just as you respect any other member of our classroom. • 1. Respect their need for space, if they don’t want to be picked up or petted, come back and try again later. • 2. Feed only if Miss Fischer gives you permission • 3. Visit during free time, not during instructional time.
