CLASSROOM

Classroom Organization:
The 3rd grade classroom is designed, optimally,
to maximize space ensure students have their space to
complete their work both individually and in groups.

Basic Features:
The teachers desk will be in the back
corner of the room, out of the way of student
learning. This does not mean that the teachers time will be spent
here, but merely a place to work at during break times. The Media
Center is located on the wall near the teachers desk, but also in
clear view of the Teacher/Student Work area to ensure students
remain on task, even when working independently and/or using
technology as a learning resource. The Reading Circle is a key part
of the classroom as well, because its a comfortable place for
3

multiple classroom activities to take place on. Besides being a place

for students to enjoy reading, it will be a place to gather at the
beginning and end of each day. This will
guarantee that students are always aware
of whats going on that week. They will
also have a chance to reflect on their day
as a group and discuss their thoughts and
questions. The Jungle Jobs Chart will
also be placed in this area, and the jobs
will be assigned at the beginning of every
week, during the morning routine. Lastly,
the phone/intercom will be placed near
the front of the room for easy access and
in case of emergency.
Students will have desks to hold their personal belongings and
for individual work time. Students will spend the majority of their
day at group tables to collaborate with other students on activities
and assignments. This will allow students to get feedback and
different perspectives from their classmates in order to broaden
their thought processes. I decided to have the students desks and
group work tables near the front of the room
to ensure all students can see whats going on
and be actively involved. Modeling is a very
important to effective instruction, so I want
my students to be able to see me model a
lesson and be actively learning so they can
ask questions and get clarification if
necessary. I also thought it was important to have another reading
area to stress the importance of reading, but I wanted students to
enjoy reading first and foremost. I wanted the reading area to be
their own space, where they could feel comfortable to read in their
own worlds.
The Teacher/Student Work Area is a key part of the room as
well. This is a space where the teacher can work with a small group
of students of similar academic levels and abilities. This will
4

allow them to work at their own ability without feeling the pressure
of working too slow or too fast, and will be able to have the teachers
full and undivided attention.

Student Learning:
The classroom itself is meant to be a place where students can
learn and be creative where they feel comfortable and encouraged.
The arrangement of this classroom is meant to promote just that. As
I stated earlier, students will be spending a majority of their day
working at group tables. The seating arrangements will not be
random whatsoever. Each students seat will be strategically placed,
based off theories from Wongs book, The First Days of School.
The purpose of arranging seats is to accomplish classroom tasks.
(p. 116). The most important classroom task is to learn. Students
who need more attention and in-depth instruction will be sat closer
to the front of the room. They will also be sat at their tables together
so I can keep an eye on them while Im teaching a lesson to make
sure theyre following along.
Students will be encouraged to work in small groups. This will
allow them to not only gain real world experience of collaborating
with others, but will also help them to talk
through their thought process and receive
immediate feedback from their peers.
Students will always be able to get help from
me, but I want them to try to figure out
problems on their own. This will teach them
how to rely on themselves to get them from Point A to Point B.
Every morning before the day begins, I will write down the
schedule for the day, the objectives for instruction, and the
homework/assignments that are due and coming up in the near
future. I want my students to always be fully aware what is happening
in their classroom and to always be prepared. They will have time
each day to write down in their assignment notebook what they need
to do at home. For further explanation and instruction on
5

assignments and in-class work time, please refer to the appropriate

section listed in the Table of Contents.

Classroom Operations:
The daily operations of the classroom will help to maintain order and
routine in the classroom. It is important that both my students and myself stay
organized to ensure that class runs smoothly and the ultimate goal of efficient
learning is being accomplished.

Student Records:
I will keep individual
manila folders in a filing
cabinet near my desk. These
manila folders will contain
meaningful work each
student has completed, and
these will be compiled
throughout the year. I will use
these folders for group work
and to show parents during
conference times. I will also be using the Whaley system as a way to
keep student records. This record system will contain thee basic
records: attendance, scores, and a running total. The running total
column is very important to keep up-to-date because it gives the best
indication of how a student is doing in the class at any given time.
This system will allow me to quickly and easily report back to any
student, parent, or administrator on a childs current progress. The
three-line system is easy to understand and very efficient.

Student Materials:
Students will have access to their own desk to keep all their
materials that they will need to learn. They will be taught how to
keep this space organized and will be expected to maintain that
organization. A picture of an organized desk will be hung up in the
6

front of the room as a point of reference for my students. Students

will also have a Desk Check every two
weeks to make sure their desk is clean and
to ensure they have all the materials they
need to be prepared to learn. Extra
materials such as loose-leaf paper,
sharpened pencils, craft supplies, markers,
and other supplies will be located on the
shelf near the Reading Circle. Students
will be shown where everything is on the
first day of school.

New Students:
We are always happy when another Monkey joins the Jungle!
New students will experience a smooth transition, no matter how
much warning is giving prior to their arrival. The new student will be
given a tour of the classroom and introduces to their peers. During a
time when other students are out of the
classroom, I will personally give the new
student a tour of the classroom, explain
procedures and expectations, and
answer any questions he or she might
have. I will watch how the students react
with the new student and try to locate a
student who is being extra helpful to
him or her. I will then politely ask the
current student if they would like to be
a buddy (Monkey Buddy) to our new student, showing them around
and helping them out with anything they might need while they get
adjusted. I want all my students to feel comfortable and it will
definitely help our new student get acclimated if they have a friendly
face to rely on. Another way to help our new student get familiar
with the classroom is to have everything already labeled for them.
The homework baskets, supply shelf, bathroom passes, etc., will all
be labeled for the convenience of my students.
7

Substitute Teachers:
In the rare event that I miss a day of
school, I want to be sure my students are in
good hands. That being said, those hands
should be well prepared and well informed
about what to do. A binder compiled of all
the necessary components will be provided
for the substitute teacher. The contents will
include:
A welcome note: thanking the teacher for coming in
Emergency information: What to do in case of a classroom
and/or school building emergency. Copies of emergency exit
maps and procedures will be provided
Student information: A list of:
o The class roster and seating chart, as well as an emergency contact
sheet containing the list of phone numbers for each student
o Students who have serious allergies and what to do in the case of an
allergic reaction
o Students who are known to be helpful and responsible when Im
gone in the case that the substitute needs extra assistance
o Students who dont work well together, students who do work well
together, students who need special attention, and students who are
categorized as gifted

Classroom information: brief explanation of procedures, rules,

routines, and discipline
Substitute activities: List of appropriate activities for students to
do during free time. This could also be used in the situation of
an unexpected absence that would prevent me from making a
lesson plan prior
Feedback sheet: This sheet will be filled out at the end of the
substitutes day. This sheet should include the names of
students who were misbehaving or who were behaving
exceptionally well and an explanation of their behavior. It
should also include what kind of disciplinary action that was
taken
8

Disciplinary Policies &

Professional Ethics
Disciplinary Procedures:
In any classroom, discipline is inevitable; therefore it requires a plan to
handle it effectively. The following sections explain the types of discipline that
will be used in my classroom for situations that are minor, mid-level, and
severe, as well as a method of positive reinforcement that will serve as an
incentive for students to behave well.

Bunch-a-Bananas Tickets:
The Bunch-a-Bananas ticket
system will be a positive
reinforcement technique where
students can earn tickets for good
behavior. These tickets will have a
picture of bananas on them, like the
one you see on the bottom of each
page. Each student will be given a
Ziploc bag at the beginning of the year that will be used to hold his
or her tickets. Once the student has accumulated enough tickets,
they will earn a prize. Each prize designated by myself is worth a
certain number of tickets. The biggest prize will be worth 100 tickets
and will be good for one lunch with the teacher. The teacher will
provide food for this lunch and the student can pick from several
options of food choices. Tickets will be taken away for undesirable
behavior as well. If a student misbehaves, fails to turn in an
assignment, or does anything that is deemed unacceptable by the
teacher, they will lose one or more tickets. Whether a student gains
or loses a ticket, the teacher will make them aware of their actions
and the teacher will have a conversation with the student if
necessary.

Minor Infractions:
For dealing with minor infractions in the classroom, I will
begin by giving a warning to stop immediately. This warning will
include a brief, verbal description of the undesirable behavior so the
student is aware of what he or she is doing wrong, and a Time-Out if
necessary. That will be Strike 1.
Then I will take away one or several
Bunch-a-Bananas tickets,
depending on the severity of the
behavior. That will be considered
Strike 2. If the behavior continues, the student will be informed that
they will be staying in for Recess Academy. Recess Academy is a
technique that was introduced to me in the book, Setting Limits in
the Classroom. This technique is effective and efficient, so I feel this
is the best way to handle a minor infraction and to stop the behavior
from reoccurring. Recess Academy is done during recess in which
the student stays in the classroom and is asked to practice correcting
their misbehavior. The teacher will explain to them what theyre
done wrong, model how to fix it, and have the student practice until
the teacher feels they have mastered the
appropriate behavior. Once they have been
dismissed, the teacher will thank the student
for participating and they will be allowed to
go join their peers outside. The most
important thing to do while disciplining a student is to make sure
they are fully aware of what they have done and why it is wrong. I
want my students to always be on the same page as me, so before I
issue a punishment, I will explain to them the situation and why I
have deemed it as inappropriate.

Mid-Level Infractions:
Some infractions might require a bit more of a punishment to
effectively discipline the student. In this case, I would handle the
situation privately, if possible. I will have a conference with that
10

student, either during recess or after school, and discuss with them
how their behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. For
example, if a student is caught cheating on an assignment or
assessment, I will explain to the student why cheating is wrong and
then discuss the next steps I will take to ensure it wont happen
again. The student will be able to redo the task,
but alone and during a time where they will be
watched by myself or another teacher. They will
only receive partial credit for the
assignment/assessment, and their parents will
receive a phone call from me explaining the
situation to them and how I will handle it. I will
also inform the student that if this behavior were
to reoccur again, the principal would have to be notified and the
situation will be taken into their hands, including their choice of
punishment.
In the case where a student was being disrespectful to either
another student or myself, a different approach would be taken. The
student will first be put in a Time-Out so they have a chance to cool
down and think about the situation. This part is necessary for every
person involved so everyone has a chance to cool down before
assessing the issue. The student who was being disrespectful will
have a conference with me about the situation, where I will explain
to them why what they did is wrong and how they are going to fix it.
This will result in the misbehaved student writing a formal apology
(see below) during their cool down time and away
from other students. I will also make sure that the
other student is OK and knows the situation will be
handled appropriately. Once I talked to both
students, I will either call home or send an email
explaining the situation and how it was handled. I will
also let them know to contact me with any questions or concerns,
but make them aware that if the problem persists, I will insist they
get involved to help come up with a plan to end the had behavior.
11

Extreme Infractions:
In the case of an extreme infraction, one that is mostly likely
violent, the student will immediately be sent to the office and
notified about the situation. Doing this will ensure the safety of the
rest of my classroom and myself, and that is the most important
part. Once the class has calmed down and returned to their work, I
will immediately contact the parents and explain the situation.

Recess Conflicts:
Problems during recess can vary from minor to extreme. I
plan to handle the situation differently depending on the severity of
the issue. If its a small argument between students, I will have them
explain the problem to
me, and then have each
student come up with a
solution on their own
about how they would like
to fix it. If I like the
solution, I will agree to it
and have the student
whom did something
wrong write an apology
letter as well. If the situation is violent, I will simply remove the
student(s) from the situation and have them cool off. I will also try to
get another staff member to handle my recess duty while I handle
the problem. Sending the student(s) to the principals office is also
an option if the situation is deemed appropriate for that. Students
who have reoccurring issues during recess will also be referred to
attend Recess Academy with me, where they can practice good
recess behavior until I think they are ready to participate in recess
again.

12

Apology Letter:
I believe that a sincere apology is an extremely important step
to solving a problem between two people. It shows respect, sincerity,
and remorse, and helps to smooth over the situation. In a necessary
scenario, I will require my students to write a formal apology once
they have had time to calm down and think about the situation. I
will use the Three-Part Apology template so the students know what
should be included in their apology letter:

13

Professionalism & Ethics:

I believe that no matter who you are or what you
do, it is important to always act professionally because
you are not only representing yourself, but the
company you work for and the organizations you
belong to. In the classroom is especially the place to do
so. As an educator, I am constantly being watched and
my example is always being followed. I am a role
model for my students and the way I act is very
important to how my classroom will run. I must act in a way that will earn my
students, my colleagues, and my bosss respect. That being said, I will not
participate in office gossip, speak negatively about my students, or discuss
anything inappropriate/unnecessary in my workplace. I strive to maintain and
uphold a professional reputation.

Routines & Procedures

Routines & Procedures:
Maintaining a routine will keep students on track and prevent any
confusion or surprises. A routine creates order in the classroom that is
necessary to uphold if you want your classroom to run smoothly. Routines
and procedures will be introduced on the first day of school and will be
reminded of when necessary.

First Day of School:

The first day of school is my favorite
day of the year; everything is so new and
exciting! New students, new clothes, new
school supplies, and new expectations for the
year ahead. The classroom will be already set up in preparation for
the first day, including a big WELCOME sign to hang on the door.
I will assign a desk to each student that will have the students name
on it, written in both traditional lettering and in cursive. Students will
be assigned a cubby in the hallway where they can their jackets and
backpacks up before entering the classroom. The classroom walls
14

will also be filled with encouraging posters, a calendar, classroom

rules and expectations, a list of student birthdays, and other musthaves to hang up on the wall.
The first day of school will begin by welcoming my students to
the classroom and introducing myself. I will tell them some
background information about me and then I will read to them my
About Me flag (see below) that they will be filling out next. This will
allow students to tell me about themselves, especially the things they
are excited to tell me. I want to get to know my students as well as
possible so I always look forward to reading what they wrote. I will
also post these flags around the room so the students know that this
is their classroom too, and they belong here. I will then ask students
to share their About Me flag if they wish to so we can all get to know
each other.

15

Next, we will go over the rules for the classroom. These rules,
as stated in The First Days of School, will be brief and concise:
Be Respectful- to each other, the teacher, and the classroom as a
whole
Be Responsible- for your actions and for your preparedness to
learn
The Golden Rule- treat others the way you would like to be
treated
Follow Instructions- they will guide you in the right direction

Once I read the rules aloud and pass out a copy of the rules to
each student to keep in their desk, I will ask the students to turn to a
neighbor and discuss these rules. We will then all join back together
to share what each group talked about and I will answer any
questions the students might have about the rules.
After we finish our discussion, I will give a quick overview of
all the items in the room. I will show them where independent
reading books are kept, where school supplies will be, where they
should turn in their homework, and where their mailboxes are.
Students will also use this time to ask any questions they have.
Once we completed the tour of the classroom, we will start our
regular morning routine that we will
conduct everyday. The first day of the
week, however, will be a little different
because we will be assigning Jungle Jobs
for the week and discussing interesting
things that happened over the weekend.
Our morning routine will begin by
having everyone gather on the Reading
Circle rug. We will look to the calendar and find out what month
and day of the week we are in, what the temperature is outside, and
I will share an important fact about something that happened on
that particular day in history. I will also share my objectives for the
day, Whats on the Menu? (the schedule for the day), and a warmup activity. The warm-up activity will be a physical warm-up that will
16

consist of a few jumping jacks, Monkey Reaches, jogging in place

for 30 seconds, and high knees. I did a lot of research about
implementing a few minutes of physical activity before beginning the
school day after hearing about how effective it can be. An
elementary school in Illinois began to offer a physical education
class in the morning before academic learning began, and the faculty
saw a major increase in test scores and reading scores. I believe this
will help to get my students brains working and will help them wake
up a little bit before we get to work. This will also be a fun way to
start the class. We could always use a few extra laughs throughout
the day!
The rest of the school day will continue as the rest of the days
will go, but at a more relaxed level. Each subject will be introduced;
I will inform students about the units we are going to learn about
and get them excited for the exciting year were going to have!

Jungle Jobs:
Jungle Jobs are classroom jobs
that are assigned every Monday
morning during our morning routine
on the Reading Circle. Student jobs will
be distributed randomly, beginning with
Line Leader and rotating to the right each week. I plan to
implement as many jobs as possible so each student feels like they
have a role in the classroom, besides just being a hardworking
student. As life goes, sometimes we have to do a job or task that we
dont necessarily like or want to do, and the same goes in my
classroom. In the case that a student complains about the job they
are given, I will simply respond by saying, Its only for a week and
then youll get a new one. Besides, we need every monkey to do
their job in the Jungle, otherwise who knows what kind of chaos
could occur?! This will hopefully get the idea through to the
student that they are needed in the class and are an important part
of the class as a whole. The Jungle Jobs are as follows:
17

 Line Leader: the leader of the line to everywhere we go

Jungle Keeper: makes sure the classroom is clean and all garbage is
picked up off the floor
Librarian: puts away all reading books where they belong
Meteorologist: gives the weather report for the day
Historian: gives an interesting fact about the day in history
Messenger: delivers all notes and important documents to the office
and other staff members
Caboose: the back of the line, also shuts door and turns off light on
their way out
Computer Technician: turns off all computers before end of the day
Paper Passer: passes out papers to classmates
Assistant Reader: helps teacher read story aloud to class
Pencil Sharpener: sharpens all extra pencils (during appropriate times,
of course!)
Supplies Checker: makes sure the supply shelf is well stocked
Whiteboard Eraser: erases all unnecessary items on whiteboard
Botanist: waters all classroom plants

Leaving the Classroom:

I believe that 3rd grade students are
generally old and mature enough to
handle leaving the classroom responsibly.
Although they must always ask for
permission before they do so, I will trust
them to be out of the classroom and to act appropriate until they do
something to violate my trust. In most cases, I will be busy helping a
student or teaching a lesson, but I require two things before a child
leaves the room: they must make eye contact with me so they know
that I know theyre leaving and they must put the appropriate hall
pass on their desk:
Bathroom pass: 1 for each gender
Water fountain pass: 1 total
Cubby pass: 1 total
Nurse/office pass: 2 total
18

Assignments & In-class Work time:

Students will be given homework assignments on a pretty
regular basis. This isnt to torture them by any means, simply a way
to encourage them to practice the lessons we do in class. I plan on
giving my students a lot of time to get their homework done during
school hours so they arent
overwhelmed when they go home
for the night. Students will be
rewarded with a Bunch-a-Bananas
ticket for a homework assignment
completed on time, as well as 2
extra minutes of P.A.T time (see
below). Students will be expected
to remain quiet and on task
during in-class work time in order to earn their reward. When a
student has completed a given assignment, they will place it in the
Completed Homework Basket located near the supply shelf in the
back of the room. Every night I will collect the papers from the
basket and do my best to have them all graded for the next day with
constructive feedback and comments. Extra copies of the
assignment will also be in a basket labeled Homework Sheets next
to the Completed Homework Basket.

P.A.T- Preferred Activity Time:

P.A.T is a great way to implement a reward system in a
classroom that actually works. This system is used as an incentive for
students behaving well: getting assignments completed on time,
staying on task during group work, playing well with others during
recess, raising hands before speaking, etc. Students will earn minutes
or seconds towards time to spend time in class to do fun things like
play on computers or iPads, free reading time, playing board games,
or any other approved activity. P.A.T time is a group effort;
therefore students contribute to or take away from whole class
activity time. P.A.T time will be used on Fridays, but final count of
19

the minutes and seconds earned will be counted just before P.A.T
time begins to ensure students continue to behave well. Minutes will
be posted in the corner of the whiteboard and will be adjusted
continuously throughout the week. What I would like my students
to take away from this system is that behaving well and working
efficiently will allow them time to do what they want, both in the
classroom and in the real world.

Differentiation Policies:
Every student is different, which means every student is at a
different math, reading, and writing level. It is the job of an effective
teacher to ensure that no matter the academic ability or
performance a student obtains, they have the right to a quality,
meaningful, and appropriate education. Teachers should never take
the one size fits all approach. Modifying instruction to fit the

needs of my students is at the top of my priority list as soon as they

enter the door of my classroom. I will maintain a common theme
throughout all of my lessons, but will adjust certain aspects
accordingly. For example, if a student needs more of a challenge, I
will come up with a way to take the lesson a step further to challenge
their thinking. For students who need a bit more help will have
more of my individual attention for starters. But they will also have
adjusted assignments and instructions, mostly consisting of shorter,
and level-appropriate sentences so they are fully aware of what to
do. Students will never be made to feel like they are less capable
than others. They will still be challenged, but challenged based on
their current ability level. I will work with my peers to ensure Im
doing absolutely anything I can to make sure every student is getting
the best education out of my instruction. Group work is also a way
20

plan on differentiating instruction. Very often, students help each

other overcome a tough problem or lesson by communicating a
solution in a different way than I could. I want my students to be
able to work together, despite them being at different academic
levels.
If circumstances become more severe, I will consult the
necessary faculty in my school district to come up with a plan on
how to ensure the student gets the best education possible. Whether
they are more behind or more ahead of other students, I will do my
best to provide them with a quality and meaningful education.

Parental & Guardian Involvement:

In order to achieve success, it is important that everyone
remains on the same page. In my classroom, parents and guardians
will always be in the loop about what is going on with their students
and in the classroom. I will send a letter home biweekly explaining
the units we are about to begin and any major assignments that are
coming up. I will also give out my email, phone number, and pager
number to all parents and guardians in case
they need to contact me immediately. I
want to make sure they know that it is my
job to be there for my students whenever
they need me, including their family
members.
I plan to create a classroom blog as
well. This blog will contain pictures of the
students during the week, working on assignments and participating
in class activities. I will also give brief descriptions about what is
going on in the classroom that week. I plan to include a section
entitled Tips for Success, that will give parents and guardians
some tips I have found to be effective that they can do with their
child at home.
Parent/teacher conferences are also a time for parents to come
to me with any concerns or questions about their students progress.
21

Conferences will NOT be the first update on how their child is

doing in their class, but purely another meeting to discuss a way to
ensure their childs success throughout the year. For conferences, I
will have compiled a series of assignments and assessments that will
reflect their childs progress in my class. I will have evidence from
the very beginning of the year, all the way up to the time of the
conference. Parents and guardians are also encouraged to set up
additional meetings with me if they feel necessary.
