			<title>Classroom Rules and Expectations</title>
			<description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT face="Courier, Monospace"&gt;Core Beliefs&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Courier size=2&gt;I will...&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Courier size=2&gt;1.&amp;nbsp; Treat students with dignity at all times.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Courier size=2&gt;2.&amp;nbsp; Guide students to own and solve their problems&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Courier size=2&gt;3.&amp;nbsp; Help students to make a desicion and live with the consequences.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Courier size=2&gt;4.&amp;nbsp; Use logical consequences when possible.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Courier size=2&gt;5.&amp;nbsp; See problems as opportunities to grow.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Courier&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Rule and Expectations&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;FONT face=Courier&gt;In our classroom we do not cause a problem for ourselves or others.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;&lt;FONT face=Courier size=2&gt;In this school we will be guided into owning and solviing any problem.'&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;&lt;FONT face=Courier size=2&gt;If you cannot or will not self correct the teacher will intervene.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;&lt;FONT face=Courier size=2&gt;If you feel you have been treated unfairly please ask to speak to the teacher privately.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

			<title>Homework</title>
			<description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Homework Policy&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The district policy recommends 20-30 minutes of homework per night in second grade.&amp;nbsp; The children will&amp;nbsp;write their homework in the Planner everyday.&amp;nbsp; In addition to what is listed in the Planner it is always a good idea to practice math facts, spelling words, and read on a regular basis.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;All homework is expected to be turned in the day it is due (usually the next school day).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Listed below are the&amp;nbsp;assignments that will be expected most weeks for homework.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Review Math and Practice Math Facts&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Complete any work not finished in class&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Tuesday:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Read 20 minutes and complete Reading Calendar&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Work on Spelling Packet&lt;/P&gt;
