Classroom Management
3rd Grade
By Jennifer Trewatha
General Description
• I foresee my 3rd grade classroom having
around 30 students with 6 of them having
a wide variety of disabilities.
• I will arrange my classroom to best
accommodate for all students.
• I will start off the school year in rows with
my desk to the back.
Classroom Layout
• Students desk where they will keep their school supplies.
• My desk where I will store all my personal stuffs. On the
right corner of my desk their will be an IN file where
students hand in their homework.
• Trash can
• Bookshelves. On the one to the Front left will be where I store
textbooks. The front right bookshelf will be classroom books
and games for the students to access. The one behind my
desk will contain my supplies and books.
• Closets where the students will store their coats and book
bags.
• The door
• Tables for activities and work areas.
• Blackboards/Marker boards to use for demonstrations. I will

Matrix. It contains four of my classroom
rules running down the side and three
different settings in which those rules
apply.

Class Routines
•
Arrival
–
•
During Instructions
–
•
When students arrive, they will place their bags and coats in proper assigned place in the closet, place
their classroom materials in assigned spot, hand in any homework in the IN File, and go to their desk
and work on any remaining work, write in their journal, or read quietly.
During classroom instructions, students will be expected to pay attention to the instructors and keep all
body parts to themselves unless instructed to do otherwise. Feet shall remain on the floor as well as all
chairs. Students will be expected to listen and take notes.
In Seatwork
–
Individual
•
–
Group work
•
•
During transitions, the students will have two minutes to put away their stuff and get ready for the next
subject. During this time they will be allowed to sharpen their pencils, throw stuff away, or talk quietly to a
neighbor once they get their stuff out. If the noise level becomes a problem, the students will know that
the privilege of talking will be taking away and they will be expect to do the task without talking.
In Line
–
•
When working on group work, students will be expected to talk quietly in hush tones. They will also be expected to
be an active participant in the group.
Transitions
–
•
When working on individual in seatwork, students will be expected to work on their assignment silently. If the they
finish early they can write in their journals, read their books, or work on other work.
Students will walk in a straight line following the line leader. They will keep their hands down at their
sides all time. Students will walk silently making sure to keep about an arms length between the person
in front of them and behind them.
When Leaving
–
When its time to leave, students will place all materials going home on their desk, retrieve their book
bags, place all belongings in bag, then sit quietly in desk till dismissed.

Students shall be expect to have two sharpened pencils at the beginning of each class.
Students shall be allowed to raise their hand and ask to use the pencil sharpener on my desk if
both their pencils break
Trash
–
–
•
Students shall raise their hands and ask to go to the bathroom.
Only one boy student and only one girl student shall be allowed to go to the bathroom at a time.
Students shall be given three minutes to go to the bathroom. (For the first few weeks, I will keep a
close eye on the clock to make the students believe I am timing them.)
Pencil Sharpening
–
–
•
The student shall take responsibility of finding out about missed worked
If you know you are going to be gone a head of time, all work shall be made up ahead of time.
Missed homework shall be turned in the following day. Exceptions will be made if the students
have missed several days in a row.
Bathroom
–
–
–
•
Homework shall be complete and turned in on time in the proper IN file.
Late work shall be accepted but at reduced point value.
Students shall keep trash at their desk until the subject is over. Then during transitions, they may
get up and throw their trash away.
As there are many trash cans around the room, students shall go to the closest trash can.
Talking to Others
–
Students will be allowed to talk to other during transitions times as long as their stuff is ready for
the next class and the volume of the conversation doesn’t impede on others ability to get
prepared.
Encouraging Proper Behavior
• To encourage proper behavior, I plan to use the group contingency
of the marble jar. For each subject that there is active participation,
most rules are followed, and seatwork is completed, a marble will
be placed in a glass jar. Once the glass jar is completely filled, the
class will get to choose from a good behavior list, which they will
create the first few days of class. Ex. Class Party, getting to go for
a walk, and having class outside.
• Also to encourage that homework gets brought back from home
and handed in, for certain random assignments, I will place the
letters JB on their paper. If the student chooses he/she can bring
the paper back to me to redeem one Jelly Bean from my candy jar.
• I also believe reading is important, so to encourage pleasure
reading, I will set up a policy that for every ten books the student
reads, they will get a chance to choose one book from the book
box. I plan to use the free books from the book order companies to
supply the book box.
Discouraging Disruptive Behavior
• To discourage disruptive behavior, I will first give one warning and let
the student know what rule they are breaking and that they were
receiving the first warning. After the warning, if they still continue to be
disruptive, I will write their name on the board. Students will know that
writing their name on the board means that they loose five minutes of
their recess time to have me explain the rules to them again. The 1st
checkmark, the student will loose 10 minutes of recess and have to
explain the rule to me and write a short paper how he/she will try not to
be disruptive again. On 2nd checkmark, he/she will go and sit outside
the class room for the remainder of the period, also he/she will loose
his/her recess. During recess he/she will have to explain to me why
he/she sat outside, write a paper on how he/she will not try to be
disruptive, and write a letter to his/her parents explaining what they did,
why he/she sat outside, and explain the rule to them. The 3rd
checkmark means, the student will sit outside for the remainder of the
period. When I get a chance the student and I will go and phone the
parents of the student. The student will then have to explain why
he/she are calling. The student will also have to write a paper. The 4th
check mark means the student will get sent to the office to deal with the
principal. On the following page there is a list of my Disruptive
Demerits.
