Bookwork Expectations

An important part of PB4L at the beginning of the year is setting up routines and expectations that are consistent. This year,  St Paul’s has implemented a focus in having school wide bookwork expectations. The bookwork expectations are established in Kindergarten and built upon each year.

Our bookwork expectations include: 

Guidelines :

• for the presentation of work including using titles, dates, underlining and neatness; and around how work is to be edited and marked
• Times frames of when students transition from print, to cursive, to a personal style of handwriting. 

These expectations are clear, realistic and reasonable. 

Having strong routines and expectations within the classroom helps to maintain an environment that is conducive to learning and promotes independence. Teachers have worked hard at creating environments which are safe, respectful and responsible. Students have been given explicit instruction and will continue to receive support and encouragement throughout the process for the duration of the year.

Quality bookwork is a product of pride and high expectations!
