Six P's: Locomote Polite, Prepared, Prompt, Productive, Positive, Together With Participate!

After a few weeks of relaxing in addition to traveling, grooming for the adjacent schoolhouse twelvemonth is inwards total swing.  I'm the crazy type of somebody who likes doing schoolhouse materials during the summertime because I tin move exercise it at my ain footstep without a 1000000 deadlines looming inwards front end of me.  I tin move terminal to read blogs, browse pinterest, blueprint a few novel posters, or attempt i time once again to crunch the fun in addition to infuriating game Twenty without feeling guilty.

At the moment, I'm working on overhauling my Algebra 2 course.  This course of written report has undergone an overhaul every unmarried summer.  This adjacent year's version has me really excited!  I squall upward I'm really starting to acquire an ordering of topics that I similar in addition to that kinda current together.  Of course, this is the terminal twelvemonth amongst this laid of acre standards, thence I'll hold out overhauling the course of written report i time again adjacent summertime to align to Oklahoma's novel standards.

I haven't done whatsoever piece of work on Algebra 1 yet.  And, I've exclusively started to vaguely squall upward nearly statistics.  I instruct a non-AP grade stats course of written report which gives me a lot to a greater extent than flexibility amongst coverage in addition to pacing.  A large lay out of my stats students are taking concurrent college classes 2 days a calendar week at the same fourth dimension equally my stats class, thence I'm looking at a construction where I teach/quiz/do labs on M/W/F in addition to give students fourth dimension to piece of work on occupation sets/reassess standards on T/Th.  My concurrent students exercise select gratuitous periods on other days when they should hold out able to come upward inwards in addition to reassess.

Most of my other thinking has been on tweaking my SBG organisation in addition to classroom decorations.

I've decided to operate the vi P's inwards lieu of classroom rules this year.  And, of course, I had to brand a laid of posters to hang on the wall.  I conception to mountain these to the wall equally a banner to remind students what my expectations are.  Want to bring together me inwards using the vi P's?  Download your ain laid of posters here.  And, don't forget, I made a blog page that includes links to all of the posters I select e'er created!  

Sorry for the miserable picture.  I'll update this equally shortly equally it's hanging upward inwards my classroom.  Though, that won't hold out until August...



I desire students to hold out polite, prepared, prompt, productive, positive, in addition to participate!  This really covers all the reasons I would hold out getting on to a student.  To enforce these, I'm going to operate a iii strikes policy.  The outset 2 strikes are warnings.  The tertiary smasher results inwards luncheon detention amongst yours truly.  When I took high schoolhouse chemistry, my teacher's principal pet peeve was paste chewing.  If you lot got caught chewing paste inwards her classroom, you lot had to come upward inwards for detention which meant cleaning the chemical scientific discipline lab equipment.  I'm thinking that if students are inwards my room for luncheon detention, I volition also observe them simply about sort of chore to do.  It could hold out wiping downwards desks, cleaning the dry out erase board, picking upward trash off the floor, etc.  Is this bad of me?  I experience that if students are wasting my time, thence I am entitled to operate simply about of their services.

I'm going to proceed rails of the strikes past times having names written on the board.  Name exclusively is a warning.  Name amongst a cheque score is 2nd warning.  Name amongst 2 cheque marks agency detention.

I'm also thinking of having students write their ain names on the board.  If a pupil is tardy, they demand to write their squall on the board earlier they e'er sit down down.  If a pupil doesn't convey a needed render in addition to must borrow from me, they demand to write their squall on the board first.  If they tin move observe a swain classmate to borrow from, I estimate they acquire a gratuitous pass.

If a pupil is setting idly during a task, I tin move prompt them amongst "I demand you lot to participate.  Write your squall on the board.  When you lot acquire dorsum to your seat, I demand you lot to hold out on-task."  If a pupil doesn't follow my directions at i time or makes a scene, they are non beingness prompt which agency a cheque mark.

One of the principles I learned from Love in addition to Logic was that if kids experience they tin move fence amongst you, they volition never come upward to observe you.  If a pupil feels similar at that spot are particular circumstances concerning their actions that I demand to hold out made aware of, thence they tin move come upward run into me earlier school, subsequently school, or at luncheon to speak to me.  I am non going to engage inwards arguments amongst my students.  If a pupil tries to engage me inwards an argument, I should say them that I exclusively fence earlier school, subsequently school, in addition to at lunch.

So, these ramblings are simply me trying to figure out this whole classroom management thing.  Sorry nearly that.
