Respect yourself.
Respect others.
Respect art supplies.
Respect your teacher.

4. Yourself. That means you shouldn’t be saying
negative things about yourself such as “I’m no
good at this,” or “this is terrible.” If you don’t like
the way your project looks Ms. Spero will help you.
Others. Don’t bring your classmates down but
build them up instead! Make good choices with
your words and your hands.

5. The supplies. Ask if you need to use something
not on your table. Take what you need but use
what you take.
Your teacher. I ask for you to respect me by
following the rules I’ve set. A positive classroom
atmosphere will allow us to work on many
different types of art throughout the year.

6. Listening:Listening:
Please be quiet and listen when Ms. Spero is
speaking or showing instructions. You might
know how to do something, but that doesn’t
mean that all your classmates do.
Make good choices when listening! If someone
at your table tries to talk to you, ignore them. If
you have a lot of energy and are having a hard
time staying still, grab a pencil or eraser from the
table and keep it in your hands.

7. Cleaning UpCleaning Up
You will hear a one minute
warning when it’s almost time to
clean up.
You will then hear a sound telling
the class to clean up. Put your
materials down when you hear
this sound.
Each week I will choose two
clean up helpers. They will each
choose a friend and work
together to put things away for
the next class.

8. Grades:Grades:Grades:

11. Other RulesOther Rules
There is NO name calling, teasing, bullying, or disrespect
in my art room. I have no tolerance for any of these.
Raise your hand and ask if there’s a supply you need.
DO NOT touch anything on my desk or the paper cutter.

12. Other Rules, ContinuedOther Rules, Continued
Anyone who finishes a project earlier than the rest of
the class may make something from the extra
activities corner.
Classes that prove they can listen when I am
speaking and handle materials well will be able to
complete more projects and work with materials as
the year goes on.

13. Free Choice Art Days
Each class has an assigned class
palette on the chart by the door. The
palettes are blank right now.
A color will be filled in on each day a
class behaves well from the time they
enter until the time that they leave.
When the entire palette is filled, the
class will earn a free choice art day! On
free choice art day, students can work
with beads, clay, Model Magic, paint,
and other fun materials.
You also get to keep what you make on
free choice art day.

14. Third grade will learn about many modern artists this year.

15. Fourth Grade will learn about art from other parts of the world this year.
