The First Day

5. Describe how you will greet the children when they arrive on the first day.

I will welcome them as they enter the classroom, confirm they are in the correct class, ask who is

there as an elective vs required, and then begin with an introduction to who I am and then the

class.

6. Describe the rules or Procedural expectations that you will have already in place and

how they will be presented to the children.

Rules: No cheating, no harassment, you get 3 unexcused absences and after that points will be

deducted from the final grade, phones are allowed.

Procedural Expectations: walk in and sit down, lecture will start promptly when class begins,

I will present these to my future students in my syllabus on the first day of class. I will present

them on the smart board and verbally cover them, a digital copy of them will be available for all

my students.

7. Describe how you will have the children contribute to these rules and expectations.

I will have a box for suggested rules that the students can place suggestions in at any point.

8. Describe your classroom procedures for the following:

● Absences: Work will be assigned online so they are still responsible for turning it in on

time. The only exception is if they email me and a serious situation arises. They must

reach out for the exemption.

● Being in classroom before/after school and during recess: N/A, it would be up to the

colleges policies

situation arises I will have a paper tray in front of the class and they will put it in there.

● Distributing and collecting materials: N/A, all students are responsible for bring their

own materials

I ask is that they have quick meals such as salads and sandwiches, nothing that will take

up their entire work area.

● Going to bathroom: they should get up and go, no need to ask permission

● Late arrival and early dismissal: if they arrive late they should enter quietly and see me

after to hear what they missed. If they need to leave early they should raise their hand, let

me know they are leaving, and then exit.

desks/seats

ask.

bring can be used at their discretion as long as it is not distributive. Calculators will be

monitored only on test days.

 ● Wearing hats or other materials of clothing: I have no personal dress code

● What to do in an emergency situation: I will follow the procedure laid out by the college.

● What to do when visitors appear: If it is a quick question I will pause and answer them, if

it will take a minute or 2 I will put up a practice problem while I deal with the visitor. If it

will take longer than a few minutes I will ask the visitor to find me after class or tell them

to email.
