Welcome to Mrs. Whaley’s Classroom Where procedures are important, and learning is fun
Following the rules makes Mrs. Whaley happy • RESPECT! • Be prepared! • Do YOUR best! • Follow all school rules
What is Mrs. Whaley’s #1 rule? • Be Prepared • Respect • Do Your Best [Default] [MC Any] [MC All]
15/15 • No student leaves for any reason the first or last 15 minutes of class. • Don’t ask.
I have to go to the bathroom, my book is in my locker, I need to go to the nurse, blah, blah, blah… • Should a problem arise during the middle of class, we will handle it appropriately. However, we do have certain procedures for those issues. • If you get permission to leave, a hall pass must be worn, and returned when you re-enter the classroom. • You only get one “fieldtrip” outside the classroom per week.
What are the benefits of skipping the “fieldtrips”? • You don’t miss out on instruction • You get 5 bonus points per week • You make Mrs. Whaley happy
What is the rule that prevents leaving the classroom the first and last 15 minutes of each period? • 15/15 • 30/30 • 1/2 [Default] [MC Any] [MC All]
I forgot my pencil • You’re in luck! I have pencils! • Before class starts walk up to my desk and trade me something of value in exchange for my pencil. We will trade back at the end of class. • Items of value • Shoes • Wallets/Purses • Cell Phones/Ipods • Permit/License • I will not keep or look through your stuff! I just want my pencil!
What is the benefit of skipping fieldtrips? • Ruptured Bladder • Bonus Points • A New Car [Default] [MC Any] [MC All]
I forgot paper, my book, my mind, etc… • I will provide you with these things! Just ask before class. I won’t bite your head off, but you will be on the naughty list, and consequences may occur if it becomes habitual.
If I forget something Mrs. Whaley will… • Bite my head off • Send me to the office • Help me if I ask BEFORE class begins [Default] [MC Any] [MC All]
I’m having a real sucky day and want everyone to know it! • We all have bad days. Lets try to leave all the negative outside the classroom door. I want a positive, and fun learning environment. • If you have a problem you need to discuss with myself, or a counselor, let me know before you have a melt down in the middle of class; maybe we can prevent any embarrassment. • Sometimes you might just need a cool off period, if that’s the case let me know. Lord knows I’ve been there!
In the event of a tornado we will… • Exit the room to the right and go downstairs to the building one hallway. • Duck and cover with dignity • That means… • Pull your pants up before you squat • No quarter slots • No Count Crackulas
In the event of a fire we will… • Exit the room to the right • Go downstairs • Exit the stairwell door • Go to the grass • Stay in a group so that Mrs. Whaley can take attendance…never leave a man behind.
During a tornado or fire we will… • Exit the classroom door to the right • Exit the classroom door to the left • Exit the classroom through the window [Default] [MC Any] [MC All]
During a lock down we will… • Quietly move away from doors and windows • Keep the door locked and do not open for any reason • Turn off lights • Account for missing students • Email the office of our situation • Pretend we are not here so the bad guys go AWAY!
During a lock down you only open the door for the principal. • True • False
During an earthquake… • Get under your desk and cover your head • I mean, what else are you really going to do?
Behavior • Students will follow the school wide behavior plan. • All major infractions must be written up and sent to the office. • All minor infractions will result in the following • 1st Warning and corrective action • 2nd Teacher/Student Conference and a consequence • 3rd Parent/Teacher Conference and a contract • 4th Administrative Action
My behavior really determines how this class will go… • This class will be able to do more fun activities if I can depend on students to be engaged in their work, and take an active role in their learning. • I love to reward! • Popcorn • S’mores • Candy • Brownies • Pizza
TEAM WORK!! • We are a package deal. • “It takes two baby” • We both have to do our part to make this work!
I think this is going to be a GREAT class! • True • False
