Classroom $rganiation

"hysical Arrangement

This classroom was designed with a focus on maximizing student learningand creating a safe, comfortable environment. All of the chairs face the whiteboard

at the front of the room to minimize distraction. There are two portable easels that

can be moved around the classroom for lessons. One of the most important features

of this room is the reading area. A special cozy area is provided for whole group

read-alouds as well as individual reading time. There are many shelves in this room

to create storage that is accessible for the students. The shelves will contain lots

and lots of books of course, but also technology headphones, laptops, i!ads", and

other supplies. The #$ental %enter& an idea from Setting Limits in the Classroom"

at the front of the room contains supplies, staplers, three hole punches, pencilsharpeners, coloring materials, paper, folders, etc. that the students can #rent& if

they need and return when finished. 'ach table also has a small bucket for

everyday supplies like pencils and pens. Another important feature in this room is

the designated display area behind the kidney table. This section of the wall would

feature specific information relevant to current content area units as well as

completed student work. ( would also like to do a student of the week spotlight on

Len 2



the wall between the lockers and the door. )inally, there is a sink with a water

fountain in the back of the room, plenty of waste and recycle bins, and a class pet

to help teach the students responsibility and cleanliness.

Cooperati&e LearningThis classroom incorporates many opportunities for cooperative

learning. The students are seated in

circular tables with * or + of their

peers to promote relevant

discussions. (ve added lots of

space for small group lessons,

group work, and learning centers

by adding the round tables, kidney table, and space

around the cozy reading area. These designated

areas and workspaces help enforce the importanceof working together and learning from one another.

(ecord )eepingaintaining clear, organized, and detailed student records is vital in

establishing an efficient learning environment. eeping my attendance and grade

book up to date helps me provide evidence of student achievement, highlight areas

for student improvement, and overall make informed decisions regarding student

progress. ( will use the /haley three line grade book as recommended by /ong to

easily keep track of student attendance, daily scores, and their cumulative total. (naddition to this basic information, ( will maintain assessment folders for each

individual student. These folders will contain specific assessment results test

scores, )A0T results, running records, etc." and will be used for conferences,

program referrals, and administrative viewing. 0ince maintaining these folders will

be my responsibility, ( think it important for students to also have the responsibility

for keeping track of their own progress. One way in which students will

accomplish this is through their personal portfolios. Throughout the year students

will select work from different content areas to represent their growth and

achievement and take pride in their work. 0tudents will also keep individual

reading logs. eeping track of what they are reading will help the students andmyself in seeing the bigger picture of each student as a reader. These logs will help

me inform instruction, recommend titles to individual students, and help students

make informed reading selections.

*e+ Students

Len '



1ew students will be welcome in my classroom. 2efore arrival, ( will ask

my class to write a short note about themselves to give to the new student. ( will

preview these notes and then give them

to our new student upon arrival so he or

she will be introduced to each classmate

and feel welcome to our classroom

family. The new students name will be

added to the bottom of the attendance

chart, an assessment folder created

records from his or her old school may

be added to this folder", and their

personal portfolio started. 1ew students

will be assigned a buddy to help show

them around the school and introduce

them to peers. ( will be thoughtful inselecting buddies and will re3uire a verbal #contract& from the buddy stating

his4her willingness and excitement in accepting their duties as a new student

buddy. Additionally, our classroom is labeled to enhance literacy and student

independence, making it easier for new students to familiarize themselves with the

classroom.

Substitute eachers 5nfortunately, there will be times when ( am not able to be in the

classroom. On such occasions, ( would like to provide as much information to mysubstitute teacher as ( can to help make their experience and those of the students

as pleasant as possible. To do this ( will create a 0ubstitute binder with the

following information6 a /elcome4Thank 7ou note, 8esson !lans and Activity

(deas, our /eekly 0chedule lunch, recess, and specials times", 0tudent

(nformation, and 'mergency (nformation. Our class will also have a discussion in

the beginning of the year about maintaining appropriate behavior regardless of

whether ( am there or not.

-isciplinary "olicies 8 "rocedures(ules

9uring the first day of school, we will work together as a class to come up

with our classroom rules. /e will write those rules on a poster and each student

will sign their name at the bottom. 0tudents will take pride in the rules they helped

Len ,



create and be willing to uphold them. %lassroom procedures will be taught the first

week of school. They will be practiced and reinforced as needed in the following

weeks.

Conse/uences:aving a well-thought out, thorough classroom management system is the

first step in minimizing inappropriate behavior and maximizing learning. :owever,

rules and procedures will be tested at times and preparation for those times is

important. (n these occasions, conse3uences will follow. y goal in reinforcing

conse3uences is to re;ect poor behavior, not the student carrying out the

misbehavior. ( will never shame, belittle, or criticize my students.

Minor Infractions: /e use the clip

system in this classroom. A vertical

behavior chart is posted on the wall. (treads as follows, #!irate 2ooty- ye found

the buried treasure,& #)irst ate- great

choices,& #)ull 0peed Ahead- keep it up,&

#All Aboard-youre ready to learn,&

#arooned- think about it,& #/alk the

!lank- speak to the %aptain,& #9avy

<ones 8ocker- parent contact.& 'ach

student has a clip with their name on it.

'very student begins the day with their

clip on #All Aboard.& As the day

progresses, good behavior with be

rewarded by telling the student to #clip

up& or move their clip up a section. (f a

student misbehaves does not follow

directions, interrupts, does not follow

classroom rules and procedures, etc." they

will be told to #clip down.& The chart

gives students the opportunity to make

better choices and move back up. ( willrecord where students clips are at the end of the day. (f a student lands on #9avy

<ones 8ocker& at any point during the day, parents will be contacted and notified

of the misbehavior.

(n addition to the behavior clips, we use logical conse3uences in our

classroom. 8ogical conse3uences are conse3uences that naturally or logically

follow the misbehavior. They are not punitive, or meant to punish, but are rather

Len



meant to be learning opportunities. )or instance, if a student lines up

inappropriately for specials, they will be told to try it again. (f two students are

talking during instruction, they will be separated. $ecess will not be taken away,

but if a student chooses to waste instructional time, they will need to make up that

time at some other point during the day.

Mid-Level Infractions: /hen a student repeatedly engages in a specific

misbehavior, particularly if this behavior interferes with instruction or disrespects a

peer or myself, this would classify as a mid-level infraction. id-level infractions

will often re3uire cool downs and4or time outs. =oluntary cool downs will be given

as an option for students to take a moment alone, collect themselves, and choose to

make good decisions. /hen a student receives a time out they will go to the

designated area and a timer will be set for > minutes. Any work or instructional

time the student misses will need to made up. id-level infractions might also

involve a private conference with me to discuss their choices and better options,and4or parent involvement.

%heating is unacceptable in my classroom. /e will have a discussion in the

beginning of the year about the importance of creating and taking responsibility for

your own work. (f a student is caught cheating they will be re3uired to re-do the

assignment and parents will be notified.

Extreme Infractions: 0everely aggressive and violent behavior that threatens

the safety of my students and myself is an extreme infraction. 0tudents engaging in

such behavior will be swiftly removed from the classroom and sent to the

principal. (f removing the student from the room is not viable, the rest of the classwill be sent to another *nd grade classroom and additional assistance from other

professionals will be sought. (f the student who performs this infraction is on a

behavior plan, the steps specified by the plan will be immediately carried out. The

safety of all of my students is my foremost concern.

"arent Support!arental support is very important to me. ?aining parents trust and respect

is an important step in being able to provide each student with the best support (

can give. ( will follow the conse3uences above, but will occasionally need

additional support from parents to help enforce those rules and conse3uences. (n

these occasions ( will contact parents, inform them of the situation, share my

discipline plan, and ask for their willingness to attend a conference if needed.

Len ?



Administrati&e SupportAdministrative support will be sought after appropriate interventions have

been implemented and were unsuccessful. 'xtreme infractions will result in a visit

to the school principal. 0tudents will also be sent to the office for all discipline

problems specified by our school policy and state educational code these policiescan be found on our districts website". /henever a student is sent to the office,

parents will be notified.

"ro#essionalism 8 1thics

As a teacher, ( am a role model and mentor for every student in the building.

( will strive to be the best ( can be in and out of the classroom. ( will continue to

pursue my own growth and learning by attending district workshops, conferences,

and continuing to take education classes. ( will present myself professionally

through my attire, demeanor, actions, and words. ( will not engage in office gossip

and strive to build meaningful, collaborative, lasting relationships with my

colleagues and administration. ( will participate in !rofessional 8earning

%ommunities, share my ideas, and learn from others. ( will uphold all policies and

procedures outlined by the district and school. (f ( strongly disagree with a school

policy or the way in which a situation was handled, ( will raise my issue along with

alternative suggestions4ideas to the appropriate party in private.

Classroom 13pectations 8"rocedures

13pectations #or Students8etters will be sent to parents and students prior to the first day

of school welcoming students and their families to my classroom

and explicitly describing expectations for students. These

expectations will be clearly posted in the classroom, discussed and

demonstrated with students on the first day of school, and

consistently reinforced throughout the year. ( believe that all of my

students can and will succeed. ( will do everything ( can to be the

best teacher ( can be, and expect the following of my students6

Len 0



o )ollow the classroom rules.

o )ollow the classroom procedures.

o 2e ready to learn.

o 9o your work well and on time.

o !articipate- share your ideas, listen and learn from others.

o $eflect on your work.

o !ush yourself- try new things and ask for help when needed.

Student 4obs:aving ;obs in the classroom is a great way to encourage responsibility and

initiative in students. ( will keep track of which ;obs students have had and switch

them at the beginning of each week. 0tudents will be responsible for each ;ob at

least once throughout the year. The following list of student ;obs will be

incorporated in our classroom6

@All 5ands on -ec6!● Birst Mate@- 0tudent of the /eek /ill bring in information about

him4herself to share during the week. ?ets to be line leader and help teacher

out with morning reports.

provide the opportunity for students to stretch their bodies and re-energize their

brains. $esearch has shown that incorporating movement in the classroom

optimizes students minds and bodies 'rwin, )edewa, 2eighle, G AhnH *IE*".

!hysical activity will be incorporated in con;unction with content to reinforce

concepts and material at times and other times we will move to ;ust give our brains

a well-deserved break.

-i>erentiation in he Classroom

0tudents have different strengths, needs, learning styles, and interests. (n

order to help each individual student excel in my classroom, differentiated

instruction is vital. ?etting to know students is the first crucial step in this process.

Once ( know my students ( can differentiate accordingly. On the most basic level,this involves providing extra support, scaffolds, and time when needed. (t also

involves accelerating material when needed, introducing new challenges, and

providing increased opportunities for independent work. Additionally, ( will use a

variety of teaching methods to appeal to various learning styles. !roviding students

with choices for demonstrating their learning will increase student motivation and

help each student best express themselves and their knowledge.

rouping Strategies

( will use a variety of grouping strategies based on student ability and performance. Our district has a ?ifted and Talented program. 0tudents who have

been asked to participate in this program will be pulled out of the classroom for E-*

hours each week to work with the ?ifted resource teacher. Our school is also lucky

to have a reading specialist, speech and language specialist, and an 'nglish

8anguage 8earning resource teacher. 0tudents with needs in these areas will also
