Paper passers: Will hand out any notices that need to go home or worksheets to be worked on during class. Messenger: Will bring any papers or notices down to the office.
 * Weekly rotating classroom jobs for responsibility: **

We will have a classroom schedule hanging up in the room which we will go over in the morning meeting and let them know if something out of the ordinary is going to happen (for example an assembly or guest speaker). We will also go over what special we have for the day.

We encourage students to ask their peers for help on something before asking the teacher. This will promote independence and responsibility.

**Set Goals!** We will have students set long term and short term goals (reading goals, something they want to learn during the school year, etc). These will be visited regularly and re-assessed. Students need to know that they are improving, no matter how small the improvement is.
