WHOLE CLASS GOALS: Marbles In The Jar

VOLUME LEVELS- In order to get the attention of the class, I will use

pattern clapping. (Clap once if you can hear me. Clap three times if you can hear me.) The noise monitors help the teacher to enforce the 3 noise levels.

LOW= SILENCE: Students are in their seats and must raise their hands to get up or talk. Examples might be during: testing, bellwork, silent reading, direct lessons where the teacher is talking, independent seatwork, and when somebody is giving a class presentation.

MEDIUM= QUIET TO NORMAL: Anywhere from 5 to 10 students may be out of their seats as long as they are working. Students may talk quietly while working in pairs or groups. We might be having a class discussion. This would also be the acceptable level for project and center time if others are still doing seatwork.

HI=NORMAL TO NOISY: Everybody is talking and working. Everybody is out of their seats. This level might apply when we are all working on a lab activity, group game, small group activity, or are all doing projects or centers at the same time. This is also the acceptable level for class celebrations and parties. The noise level should NEVER be so loud that another class is disturbed.

LINE BEHAVIOR- We practice until we get it right. The line leaders and door holder help us to sandwich the line. There are hand signals to direct the

class such as Zip it, OK, Doing Great, STOP, GO, and TURN AROUND- it’s practice time. If we can make it the whole week without having to

PRACTICE, we will have Fun Friday.

ON TASK IN AND OUT OF CLASS- It is important for our class to follow

directions, be on task, and enter and leave rooms in a quiet and

orderly fashion. This goal also applies to behavior when we have a special guest, at library, in the cafeteria, during assemblies, on the playground, during fire drills, and when we are at specials. Important times to be on task during class are: when the teacher gives the signal to begin, while moving from one activity to another, when arriving or leaving the room, before and after recess, when we are stopping at the restrooms, getting drinks, pencil sharpening, turning in homework, and while cleaning up.
