Perez's Rule Review

When Mrs. Perez is teaching, you should...

• Turn and face her so she knows you're listening.

• Mess with stuff in your desk.

• Take notes as needed in your journal.

• Talk while she's talking.

• Do work from your other classes.

When wanting to get Mrs. Perez, Ms. McCray or another adult's attention in our classroom, you should...

• say their name out loud repeatedly to get their attention.

• raise your hand and wait patiently for your turn for help.

• start talking out over others to get help.

• check your notes OR ask a teacher assistant for help.

When talking in class, which 4 voice levels are the choices allowed for our class?

• Level 0-no talking

• Level 1-whisper

• Level 2-conversation between two people

• Level 3-teaching voices (can be heard across the room)

• Level 4-outside voice

What are some 'unwritten rules' that are followed in our classroom? :)

• Don't tap your pencil on different surfaces

• Don't lean back in your chair

• Don't help a neighbor

• Use your journal for questions you have

• Treat others as you want to be treated

If we did distanced online learning and you need help online from Mrs. Perez, you should...

• send her an email multiple times a day because she didn't answer you fast enough.

• include specific details about your question and allow 24-48 hours for her to respond.

• have your parents email or call when you don't hear from her before 3:45.

• attend her daily scheduled online meeting times to ask for help.

If Mrs. Perez is working with a small group in the classroom, I know I shouldn't interrupt her. Instead, I should...

• check my class notes to see if the answer is in there

• raise my hand, wait for her to see me to call on me and not get my work done.

• stand by her table & wait until she's done teaching the small group and THEN ask my question.

• ask a teacher assistant, Ms. McCray or another adult in the room for help so I can continue my work.

• start to cry because I don't understand the work and Mrs. Perez won't help me, so I'm going to tell my parents she doesn't want to help me ever.

When I finish my work DURING MRS. PEREZ'S CLASS and I have time left, I can...

• read a book from the library or on Epic.

• begin to write a free story or work on another story I've been writing.

• finish any other ELAR work that I haven't completed.

• ask Mrs. Perez or a teacher helper what to do next.

• play online AND work on any work for my other classes.

When it comes to getting new supplies for myself, I should...

• grab it DURING Mrs. Perez's class.

• grab it in the morning from your bag/cubby when I'm getting ready to start my day.

• grab it JUST BEFORE classes are switching.

• whine that I don't have scissors, glue sticks, pencils, etc. and bother my classmates or the teacher to use their supplies.

• write a note on my agenda OR send an email to my parents before school or at recess to let them know what supplies I need.

If Mrs. Perez puts directions on the board of what to do, I should...

• finish my work and tell Mrs. Perez that I've finished my work.

• finish my work, put it in the tray and read the board to see what to do next.

• follow the directions on the board and then do the "when I'm finished" activities we discussed earlier this year.

• realize I didn't pay attention and go interrupt Mrs. Perez's small group to ask questions.

• make noise & distractions because I don't want to work.

If another student chooses to disrupt class by making repeated poor choices, I should...

• laugh at their poor choices to show that I make poor choices, too.

• ignore their poor choices so that they're only hurting their own learning.

• tell them to stop and begin to argue with them to further disrupt class.

• let Mrs. Perez handle it as she sees fit so I can keep learning.

• move away from them during direct instruction (teacher's teaching) or independent practice (you do your graded work).
