  5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
  6. Attend to precision.

Collaboration with our Friends:

Learners will often work collaboratively using team roles (resource manager, facilitator, recorder/reporter, and task manager) and will be given feedback on their work using a Collaboration Rubric 5th Grade. 

Classes run smoothly only when routines, procedures, and rules are followed. Here are the student created class rules: 

  1. TBD
  2. TBD
  3. TBD
  4. TBD
  5. TBD

Here is a complete checklist of Ms. Ginger’s routines and procedures to be followed in class –> classroom procedures checklist

We are a PBIS School which means we also have 3 basic rules for all learners in all settings. These rules are:

1. Be Safe

2. Be Respectful

3. Be Responsible
