By maintaining the expectations of a Grade 6 student and Vancouver Talmud Torah, you can expect to have a successful and productive year of learning.
 * Grade 6 Expectations and Policies**

**In Grade Six you are expected to**:


 * Treat yourself and others with respect. There are several specific behaviors that fall under the general statement. We will be more specific when we create our classroom policies together.
 * Be on time to class
 * Come prepared with all materials for a given subject.
 * Keep the classroom clean.

**In Your Grade 6 Classroom:**

**When entering the classroom**: Consult the board and begin working immediately either alone or with Chavruta as indicated.

__**H**__ **evruta:** In Grade Six, you will be assigned a __he__ vruta study partner. With Rabbi Bellas and Mrs. Davidowitz, you will be studying a significant amount of text, which occurs best with a __he__ vruta partner. Your __he__ vruta will also serve as your homework buddy. If you miss class for any reason, it is your responsibility to consult the class websites (see below) and to call your __he__ vruta to find out what you missed. If you are a school and your __he__ vruta is absent, you should make a call to him/her to find out if s/he is sick and to inform him/her of missed assignments. You will often be studying with your __he__ vruta in a “classroom voice.” When Rabbi Bellas or Mrs. Davidowitz need your attention, you will be given a signal. Please stop talking immediately and direct your attention to the teacher. **Homework:** Please consult the homework pages of our websites for the details of homework expectations and rules. Part of your __DAILY__ homework is to check the wikis and check your talmud torah email.

**Restroom Policy:** Grade Six students are expected to use the restroom __during recess and lunch__ times. __So, please plan accordingly during your free times__ **.** In the case of an urgent need, one boy and one girl at a time is permitted to leave the room. Write your name on the board and erase it when you return. Students are expected to return to class promptly. Students may have water bottles in class.

**Lateness Policy:** Grade Six students are expected to arrive to class on time and prepared for class in proper uniform. If a student arrives late, he or she must wait at the door to be welcomed into class. Repeated lateness will result in a point.

**Homework and Assignments:** All class news and assignments are posted on wikis. You used them last year in grade 5. All communications from the wikis will go through your students.talmudtorah.com email account. You should already have invitations to the wikis in your mailbox there.
