Lauren Hobbs
3rd Grade
 Welcome to
Ms. Hobbs’ 3rd
grade class

My name is Lauren Hobbs and I am from

Bonita Springs, FL. I graduated from
Stetson University with a bachelor’s
degree in Elementary Education. I was also
a student athlete and played softball.
Some things I enjoy are being around
nature and being active outside. I have a
passion for flowers, spending time with my
family and friends.

In this manual you will find our class rules

and procedures. Our rules apply all
throughout our day. It is important that all
students follow our rules so that our
classroom is fair, safe, and welcoming. It
is also important for students to be aware
of the rules in the classroom in order to
know what is expected of them.

I am excited to have my own classroom to

use all that I have learned at Stetson to
help your students grow.
 Rules
1. Listen when someone is
speaking. Eyes on the
speaker and voices off.
2. Raise your hand when you
wish to speak. If someone
is speaking, you wait your
turn to speak.
3. Keep hands, feet, and
objects to yourself. This
means that if something
is not yours to touch, we
do not touch. If you wish
to touch something you
ask the person it belongs
to.
4. Be kind to yourself,
others, and your
environment. Treat others
how you would like to be
treated.
