Intro to Exploratory French
Rules and Procedures
How to enter and leave the classroom
Entering: Immediately prepare for bell work. You must write the question down and then attempt to answer. If you do not know the answer, the question must be written down and you are to then look through your notes WITHOUT TALKING, unless noted.
When Madame Svonavec enters and says "Bonjour tout le monde" (hello everyone), you will stand (yes, you) and respond "Bonjour Madame!" (Hello Madame). (madame-mrs. monsieur-mr. madameoiselle-miss)
Leaving: You must make sure there is no garbage left behind, push your chair in, and take all materials with you.

The 3Rs of CHAMPS/ENCORE
RESPONSIBLE: have all materials, turn in assignments, participate in class
RESPECTFUL: class materials, classmates, other peoples' right to learn
READY: arrive to class on time (GET A PASS!), have daily materials/supplies, be present and attentive
If you violate an R you will be required to sign the 3R book. You are to COMPLETELY fill out the log to avoid being pulled in for lunch to complete the log properly. You will need to fill in your name (first and last), date, house (ex 7y), circle your offense (r), and leave a note as to why you signed.
This information will be shared with the CHAMPS and you will be logged on the team log.

Absent Work
If you miss a day, go to this part of the table and get any papers you missed. French 5 is the top bin and 6-7 is the lower bin.
* If you simply lost a paper, YOU MAY NOT GRAB FROM THIS BIN!

Lost a paper?
You may take ONE extra paper from this bin if you lost yours. Again, French 5 is top and 6-7 is bottom.
Lost an item?
If you think you may have lost something in this classroom, check this area. If it is not there, it's not in the classroom. (Perhaps check other classrooms, or the Lost and Found int he cafeteria) You may NOT take something that is not yous.
Daily Behavior
If the class goes without tardies and has perfect behavior for the entire class period, a check is marked. The class must get 5 checks in a row to receive a reward of their choice. Some approved choices have been French film clip, French music video, game time, free time, etc.
*If you miss a check mark, the count starts all over. (Example: 4 checks and then a bad day, the class count starts at 0 again.)
Located beneath the behavior chart is what we did in class the past cycle.

What can I win?
-Prizes will vary throughout the year.
-You may ask to set up a doughnut day if Madame agrees to pick up a doughnut in the morning for you. Once the day is scheduled, you will be responsible for getting the doughnut at 8:10 from her room (she will not find you). If you forget to pick up your doughnut, you lose it.
-Finally, if you do have a doughnut day, you will still need to eat breakfast in case Madame is sick that day so that you do not go hungry.

Cones
These cones are an indication as to how you're doing in class.
Purple=great job, turn in the cone at the end to get a ticket!
Yellow=warning, stop doing what you just did, talk after class, 3 R book
Orange=last warning, stop immediately, talk after class, 3 R book
Red=TROUBLE, call home, 3 R book, and any other consequence depending on the offense
You can go straight to a red cone, or earn having a cone removed from your desk.
1. Do not touch the cones when they are on your desk. If you choose to play with them, you will get a purple cone taken away or advance to the next cone.
2. Do not comment about the cones. During class is not the time to discuss your problem with Madame; it is time to learn.
3. Do not comment on anyone else getting a cone. MYOB= mind yo own business!
