Classroom Expectations
At the beginning of the year we will spend some time getting to know each other by learning and agreeing on our classroom expectations. Every year, I tell each class that we are a classroom family, and we need to work together to have a positive and safe classroom environment. I love being a teacher at a school prides itself on using Restorative Practices and acknowledging positive behaviors. At Indian Mound Middle School, we A.R.R.E. Spartans and we will focus on Achievement, Respect, Responsibility, and Empathy for expectations in our classroom.
