This year, Room 31 is using the TRIBES program. The basic TRIBES agreements are: • Attentive Listening • Appreciation/No Put Downs • The Right to Pass • Mutual Respect
Basic Class Rules 1. Students will pay attention and not cause distractions. 2. Students will show respect for all classmates, staff, themselves and respect property. 3. Students will quietly do their own work. 4. Students will complete their assignments on time and in all other ways be responsible. 5. Students will follow directions and established procedures. 6. Students will help make class rules during the first week of school.
Consequences 1. Students will be given a verbal warning. 2. Students will be given a second warning and the name will be written down. 3. Students will need to talk to the teacher at which time the teacher may assign a written reflection assignment. 4. Students will be given detention during Friday's All-5th Grade P.E. time, during which time they will have a written assignment. Parents will be notified.
Consequences 5. If there are 2 Friday detentions in one month, they will miss the "Fifth Grade Fun Day" held every 6 weeks. 6. Students will be Referred to the Principal's Office. 7. Formal Conference with Student, Parents and Teacher will be held. Depending on the seriousness of a problem, the teacher may skip any or all steps.
This year, we are using the cooperative learning model, • Students will be working with 1-2 partners for “pair share” activities. • Students will be part of their table “clan community” of 5-6 people. • Students will be part of a “nation” with about 1/3 of the class. • The entire class will also work cooperatively. • This model helps students learn academic, collaborative, and social skills. It also allows for positive discipline.
