Welcome! Ms. Kate LaMachia lamachia@robbinsville.k12.nj.us 8th Grade RAS
Am I in the right room? 8th Grade RAS Room B102 We will meet here everyday!
Where am I supposed to sit? Sit in a desk where you feel the most comfortable and will be the most productive.
What are the rules in this classroom? • Students must come to class prepared with all proper materials • Students are to work quietly • Be a “positive learner” • Treat others with respect • Respect your environment • Listen to all directions before you ask questions • Be honest • Be confident
What are the consequences? We will work by a three strikes system– You will receive a strike as a consequence of choosing to break a rule • Zero strikes in one day = A chance to roll the die for a reward • One strike in one day = Will receive a Stop token as a warning, and does not get a chance to roll the die that day • Two strikes in one day = Fill out an Action Plan and contact parents
Please stop what you’re doing and make a better choice What’s an action plan? • If you break a rule, you are not being punished. You have consciously made a choice to break a rule and that means you have to accept the consequences • If you receive 2 strikes for the day, you will move to the back of the room and fill out an Action Plan. This will help us to problem- solve how to improve your behavior. We will then share this Action Plan with your parents via e-mail
What are the rewards? • Roll the dice and receive one of these rewards: • 1 = 1 Knight’s Pledge • 2 = 10 minutes computer time pass • 3 = iPod listening pass • 4 = Leave RAS 2 minutes early • 5 = Choose your reward • 6 = 1 point towards a movie day in RAS (need a class total of 50)

Ms. L
