Classroom Etiquette

There are a number of etiquette protocols that students will be taught to follow in the classroom. This will show respect to others. 

  1. When someone enters the classroom, students will stand up and greet the visitor as a group. (ie- “Good morning, Mrs. Smith”)
  2. When asked a direct question by the classroom teacher, the student will stand up and answer clearly in complete sentences. 

(ie- “George, what is the capital of Wisconsin?” stands “The capital of Wisconsin is Madison.”

  1. Students will respond to questions with “yes” or “no,” and avoid all variants including “yeah.” 
  2. Students will raise their hands and wait patiently to be called on. 

Teachers will have the ability to create classroom routines and question and answer responses unique to their class. There will also be a standard set of assembly sayings that will be used throughout ADCCA. The following will be used joyfully in the classroom and may be used at home for reinforcement as well. The teacher/parent will start with the bold phrase, and the students will recite the response. 

  1. Obey … Right away, all the way, with a good attitude everyday
  2. Greater love has no one than this… that someone lay down his life for his friends. 
  3. Leave it… better than you found it. 
  4. Lines… sprint, straight, silent (clap, clap, clap)
  5. God is opposed to the proud… but gives grace to the humble. 
  6. Never … panic.
  7. He who hates correction … is stupid. 
  8. Hand . . . shake, firm & cheerful eyes on eyes.
  9. You will reap… what you sow.
  10. Out of the abundance of the heart . . . the mouth speaks.

If anyone is not willing to work…let him not eat.
