Stacking Cup Challenge

I will give you directions for this communication activity. You will work together to do this because it is a teamwork challenge. If you were absent, you missed out!

What's a Social Contract?

It's a contract we all sign that shows the ways that our class agrees to behave all year. We will make it together in class, and the results will be posted on the wall for the whole year. It will be our guide to how we treat ourselves and others in class.

These are our guiding questions:

1. How do you want to be treated by Ms. Black? How can she do that?
2. How do you think Ms. Black wants to be treated by you? What can you do to show that?
3. How do you want to treat each other in this classroom? What do you do?
4. How can we all help each other stay focused and successful in the classroom?

You will answer these questions in your ELA Journal on Google Classroom!
