Sept 4, 2018. Day one
The teacher uses circle time to welcome students individually and talk about the 7 Grandfather Teachings. He relates those attributes to how the class should treat each other. The teacher will say how he respects them and that respect goes both ways.
RULES SET-UP
He states that in the class there must be a set of rules as well. These rules will be developed later with their input. -
Period: to
Classroom rules and Procedures
Classroom rules and Procedures will be modelled daily before the Gym class begins. -
Sept 5, 2018 Day 2
Co-Constructed General Rules
Teacher will co construct rules with the class to give them a sense of ownership over their own behaviour and what they deem reasonable. The teacher may need to prompt so that the students arrive at certain 'must have' rules under the three Big ideas of Be Respectful,Be Responsible and Be safe. -
Sept 6, 2018 Day 3
Teacher will go over the rules and model the procedures with examples on how to:
*follow directions
*use equipment wisely
*play fairly
*ask for help when needed.
*Stay in assigned area
*Be aware of your surroundings
*Keep hands and feet to yourself
Concerns about wandering are addressed as Gym rules due to safety concerns and breakage of equipment in the Gym.
For courtesy, the students will simply have to tell the teacher where they are going (ex.washroom) and sign out in the sheet. -
Sept 7, 2018 Day 4
Co-Created Consequences
The consequences will be co-created with the students, with the teacher having the ones they want as back-up suggestions if the students do not reach the appropriate ones. Some rules and consequences will need to be added and revised at a later date all through the year for reinforcement especially after breaks. -
Sept 8, 2018 Day 5
Parental Notification of Rules
This is sent by email or letter to all parents stating that these are the rules and guidelines created by teacher and students on how to have a successful learning environment. The class went over these rules and are in acceptance of them. They understand that failing these rules will result in the appropriate discipline action. The rules will be clearly stated so the parents will know why if their child was reprimanded.
