Class Expectations Respect your teachers and classmates Enjoy learning Do your best Cooperate with others Ask questions Remember we are a family Participate in class Excel at everything you do! Try your hardest and never give up!

What happens if I don’t make good choices? Consequences: 1 st time: Warning, erase number 2 nd time: Move number to the sad face, loss of money 3 rd time: Check mark on number, phone call home, loss of money 4 th time: Another check mark, detention, loss of money

What happens if I do make good choices? If you make good choices, you will be given money. You will need to collect these in a ziploc bag. Once a week you will have the opportunity to purchase items using your money. We will decided as a class how much each item will cost. Good luck! Remember it is YOUR responsibility to keep track of your money. I am not responsible for lost or stolen money!

Final Thoughts! The kind of year we have is up to you! If you need ANYTHING, please ask! If you don’t understand or have a question, ALWAYS ask. Someone else is probably wondering the same thing. Remember, I am here to help you learn! That is my job. We are a classroom community of learners. Treat others as you would like to be treated. We will always be respectful to each other. You will probably spend more time with your “school family” than you will spend at home with your family during the school week. I have high expectations and will always expect your best. In return, I will always give you my best.

You are a leader! Leadership is doing what is right when no one is watching.
