Classroom Rules

While in the Classroom

Follow the Motto of Superman

Truth                                Justice                                  The American Way

Before you act, before you speak, ask yourself “What would Superman do in a situation like this?”  Then act accordingly.

Truth

Be Honest - Superman would never tell a lie. Neither should you.

Justice

Be Safe - Superman protects the weak physically, mentally, and emotionally. So should you.

The American Way

Be Courteous - As an example to all Superman would never participate in cussing, cut-downs, or crude behavior.  Neither should you.

Be Prepared - Superman would never show up without having done his homework, without the necessary materials, or with a bad attitude.  Neither should you.

Participate - At the end of a hard days work at the daily planet, Superman doesn’t have to fly around helping people, but he does.

Rewards Card

Students are expected to follow Carson rules in all settings and the rules that apply in each teacher’s classroom, as well. The 5/6 team uses “Reward” cards to help students “own” their choices and behaviors. Each new month will start a new card. Any Carson adult in a teaching or supervising role may have input on a student’s card—this includes recess time, in the computer lab, PE, music and playground. Each week, students have the opportunity to earn two stamps. These stamps are rewards for behavior and work completion.  Students who earn the stamps will be rewarded at the end of the month (recess, food, games, etc.).

Those short of stamps will go to the Opportunity Room where they will have the opportunity to reflect upon his/her choices and write a plan for using better judgment.
