Summer Vaca Day 11
Posted on June 30th, 2014
A week of running back and forth to my folks helping out and visiting with my brothers. Not much time for reflection.
Chapter one of Marzano mentioned how one English teacher used a poem to get her rules across to students. I said, why not?
My Typical rules are:
I have really easy classroom rules that help keep the classroom a safe place.
Respect: We need to respect everyone else in the room
Reasonable: We need to be reasonable in our expectations and actions. No Extreme behavior.
Responsible: We need to be responsible to get work completed, keep our areas clean and for any equipment we use. If equipment is not cared for, then others won’t be able to use it and it costs money to replace.
So I tried writing this draft:
Bring your pencils, papers, books
Don’t forget your calculator
You won’t get any dirty looks
Be your own Motivator
Let’s not swear or be rude
Let’s work hard while we are here
Don’t give anyone ATTITUDE
Math shouldn’t cause you to shed a tear
One thing I was going to play with this summer is to begin to write raps for classroom use. Maybe this might be one?
