CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT PLAN

Statement of Purpose

Our classroom will be a safe and welcoming learning environment for

everyone. Over the course of the year, students will develop positive
habits that promote academic excellence, personal responsibility and a
sense of community.

Rules
1. Come to class prepared every day
2. Follow the teachers directions
3. Use hand signals to ask a question or speak (simplified sign language)
4. Keep your hands to yourself
5. Use all class materials/technology appropriately and safely

Procedures
When entering the classroom in the morning Enter quietly, pick up the Do Now
assignment on the teachers desk, read the assignment and start working quietly. Read
your book if you finish early.
Lining up for assemblies or other transitions -Place books and materials on the top
right corner of the desk when leaving the classroom. Walk quietly outside and line up
on the wall outside the classroom in number order.
Turning in homework - Make sure your name is on your paper! Students at each table
give homework to the table leader. Each table leader walks quietly to the homework bin
to drop off the papers. Table leaders walk quietly back to their group table and begin
the next activity.
Raising hands for question, comments, and restroom - Use a simplified sign language
system for raising hands.
o A means I have an answer, C means I have a comment, Q means I
have a question, R means May I use the restroom?
When leaving the classroom for the day- Wait for the dismissal song to play or for Ms.
Moss cue for dismissal. Then, quietly pack your homework folders in your backpacks,
clear off your desks and put your chairs up. Grab your belongings and quietly line up
outside the classroom in number order.

Consequences Positive Behavior

Institute a clip chart with a :) smiley face, straight face and sad face.
Every student starts the day with a happy face on the clip chart.
Random acts of kindness get points toward rewards like sitting next to friends or a lunch
with the teacher.
Any day the whole class stays on the happy face we earn points towards a class party.
At the end of every week, the teacher chooses an honor student who receives a toy to
put on his/her desk for the next week. That student also receives a positive phone call
home.

Consequences Negative Behavior

Level 1 - Name on the board, warning (teacher provides situational assistance for the
student, eg. removing distracting objects)
Level 2 - Move name to :| (straight face) on clip chart, (teacher implements mild
responses, eg. proximity control)
Level 3 - Move name to :( (sad face) on clip chart (teacher applies mild/moderate
consequences like spending the first 5 minutes of recess picking up trash or changing
seats)
Level 4 - Parent phone call and possible parent-teacher-student conference
Level 5 - Send student to the office (detentions/suspensions, etc.)
