In today's session, we will discuss essential classroom procedures, norms, and how to foster a supportive environment for all students. Topics will include entering the classroom, handling restroom needs, managing assessments, and responding to fire drills. We will emphasize the importance of a non-judgmental atmosphere where everyone can share their thoughts and experiences. By developing a set of shared norms, we will create a safe space for learning life skills, critical thinking, and self-advocacy. Your input is valuable in shaping our classroom culture!

What are we gong to talk about today??? • Classroom procedures • Classroom environment • Developing Norms
What should we do? • Sit in your assigned seat when you enter the room. • Read the board • Take out needed supplies • Complete any tasks listed under • “Do Now” • Copy homework
“What do I do when…” • “I need to use the rest room” • Just get up quietly, and sign out. You don’t need to announce to the class that you have to go use the bathroom. • “I have a pass to guidance” • Come to class and show me the pass first. • “I have to go to GT” • Stop off here first to pick up important papers. The GT room is right next door.
“What do I do when?” • “I have a music lesson” • Please let me know ahead of time. Your lessons are scheduled in advance. So you have an idea of when your lesson is. • If an assessment is scheduled, you must come to class. • You can only miss health once a week. If you are pulled out for another program or for guidance, you will need to reschedule for another period.
“What do I do when” • “I’m absent from school or class” • Check my teacher page. • Mrs. Blomn's teacher page • “I need help” • Ask me for help, right away! • Make an appointment to get help from me. • Don’t be afraid to ask, I’m here to help you.
“What do I do when?” • There is a fire drill • If you are in the classroom, you exit the room, turn to your right, and walk out the door. • If you are in the bathroom, find the nearest exit. Let a teacher know you are in my class. • There is a “Mr. Minor” or “Code Yellow” • We continue with our work/lesson until further notice. • There is a “Mr. Major” • Quietly get up, push your chair in, move to the front of the classroom where my desk is, find a spot on the floor. Most importantly be quiet.
Creating our classroom environment • We need to have a non-judgmental, caring, respectful classroom.
Why??????? • We are going to be talking about topics that are not discussed on a daily bases. • We will be using vocabulary that we do not use every day. • We will be developing life skills to help us in decision making, critical thinking, resistance skills, and self-advocacy. • We will be role playing to help us learn how to apply these skills, so that when you are faced with a situation, you will have the confidence you need to make a responsible decision.
How are we going to do this? • By developing a class set of Norms. • Norms are very much like ground rules. • They will help us create a safe classroom environment. • Everyone will be able to contribute, all voices will be heard. • Each of you will have a say in helping create our class Norms.
