Classroom Procedures:

Entering the classroom:

Students should never enter or exit the classroom through the stage doors. 

When a student first enters the classroom they need to grab their folders

and answer the warm-up.  Warm-ups should take students no more than

 five minutes after the bell has rung to complete.

Absences:

When an absent student returns:  That student must check with Mrs. Smith to

 find out how to make –up those days.  The student will have as many days as

 they are absent to make-up that work.  They must also put absent, on their warm-ups

 for the days that they were gone.

Heading your paper:

Students should head their papers as follows:

Students should stay seated unless the teacher states otherwise. 

 If you are having a hard time sitting on the floor, you may bring a

small nap map to sit on.  Make sure to put your name on the mat. (

Most of the time we do not sit for long.)

Hall passes/ visiting the restroom

I have one hall pass to give out during the class period.  I will allow

 one student to go out of class to the restroom at a time.  However, if a

student is found walking the halls, then that student’s parents will be informed.  

That student’s hall passes in my class might be limited to emergencies only.

  Note:  If a student comes up to me before the bell rings and asks to go to the

restroom, then I will allow that student up to 3 minutes after the bell to do their

business and get back to class.  All students that do this will be responsible for

 taking off their shoes, and completing their warm-up before the first five minutes of class.

Personal emergencies:

If as student has a personal emergency and needs to go to the restroom, then

  he or she needs to inform the teacher of that emergency and head quickly to

the restroom.  Ladies with emergency problems should just inform the teacher

that it is a minor emergency and enough will be said.  However, if a student is

 constantly abusing this emergency plan, then their parents will be informed and

 a plan will be met to better meet that student’s needs.

Using props, costumes and theatrical furniture/ scenery:

Students should not touch props, costumes, scenery, or theatrical furniture

 without permission.  (These items might break or rip.  IF a student does touch

 and break these items then , that student must either pay to replace that item or

 come in before or after school to fix the broken item.)  When the students are

 given the permission to use items from the prop closet, then they are expected

 to put back those items in an orderly fashion.

If you finish early:

If a student finishes their project early, then they are expected to help

others on their projects.  If no one wishes to have help, then that person has

permission to either, finish homework from other classes, see if Mrs. Smith needs

 any help for the up-coming production, or read a play.  During this time the

student may not go around distracting other students from their projects.

Late Work

 If a student is late in turning in a project or memorizing a scene, that student can

 perform or turn their project in on the next day for 10 points off.  After 2 days it will

be 20 points off.  Then, on the third day it will be a zero.

Supplies Needed Everyday for class:

1.      A pair of extra gym shorts (If you like to wear dresses to school)                              

      2. Paper folder with 3 brads and two pockets (should stay in class)                      

    3. Notebook paper (should stay in drama folder)                                                       

4. One pen                                                                                                               

 5. One pencil

Mrs. Smith’s RewardsSticker Reward System

 

Large sticker = 5 small stickers

Group Rewards:  At the end of each week students will count their stickers.  If the class is able to collect 50 stickers by the end of the week, they will receive 30 minutes of improvisational games that Friday.  If the class is able to collect 100 stickers by the end of the week, then that class gets to play improvisational games all day that Friday. 

 

Individual  Rewards: The student with the most stickers in the class will be the class Stage Manger the following week.  The Stage Manger will not have to do warm-ups for that entire week.  However, they will also be responsible for making sure that the class has picked up all their trash and that the journals are put back into the class cabinet.

 

Individual Rewards:  If a student is able to achieve 10 or more stickers during the week, that student may pick a special privilege which could include, bringing a snack to class one day, bring a drink to class, one free tardy (This can not be any more than 3 minutes.) or sitting out of warm-ups one day.

I have read the expectations of this class.
