Have finally created a blog to help me improve and expand my teaching practice.
Am currently fretting about what the règlements would work best for my grade one French Immersion class. I want to operate under three constraints as outlined below. I'd love to have input from others!
Class Rules - Considerations:
A. AIM Language use of the 3rd person single
voice – “tout le monde”... Then have all rules and instructions in the 2nd
person singular?
B. TRIBES school: Translated
and used the 4 Tribes’ agreements last year as follows:
- Écouter attentivement
- Respecter: toi même, les autres, les objets
- Apprécier / Pas de commentaires négatifs
- Partager / Passer ton tour.
C. Whole Brain Rules: Am wondering about rule #3: Raise your
hand for permission to leave your seat. If I am in the middle of a lesson, my students
do hold up three fingers for permission to go to the washroom, I just nod. They
do, however, silently get up and fetch Kleenex and sharp pencils without
raising their hands and disturbing or interrupting the class.
D. Want a limited
number of rules that are easily
understood and for which grade one students can be held responsible.
Discussion Draft:
Les règlements de ma classe
1. Écoute attentivement.
2. Suis les instructions tout de suite.
3. Respecte toi même, tes camarades, et les objets de la
classe.
I’d want to explain / subset: 1) garde
tes mains et tes pieds pour toi)
2)
pas de commentaires négatifs
4. Lève ta main pour parler.
5. Rends ta chère enseignante heureuse. :-)
