Community Expectations

investigations.terc.edu/Our Joseph P. Manning Elementary School Community Expectations help to create a safe and engaging educational environment that supports all students to reach their highest possible potential.  We believe in the power of cooperation, responsibility, empathy, and self-control, and that our students’ families are always vital to creating a successful community.

Guiding Principles for ALL members of the Manning Community:
  • Treat ourselves and all others with respect
  • Treat personal and school property with respect
  • Come to school prepared for learning
  • Wear school-appropriate clothing
  • Follow community rules and procedures
  • Resolve conflicts and encourage each other to make the right choices
  • After a conflict, take appropriate time and space to regain composure and continue learning
  • Try our best everyday to improve ourselves and our community
  • Create and maintain a positive and safe environment

Turtle Awards
Turtle awards are regularly presented to students during morning assembly for exemplary performance that reflects the school’s values.

The Responsive Classroom
We use the Responsive Classroom approach to build essential skills: cooperation, assertion, responsibility, empathy, and self-control. Students begin their day with a morning meeting, learn the importance of rules and logical consequences, are introduced to new materials through a guided process, and gain self-esteem through decision-making. The Responsive Classroom is designed to permeate all teaching at the school, including the thoughtful arrangement of each classroom to encourage independence, promote caring, and maximize learning. www.responsiveclassroom.org

Curriculum 
We use TERC INVESTIGATIONS for our math curriculum, which is aligned to the 2011 MA Frameworks. You can see all the lessons on the website here! You should see more activities to build conceptual rather than just procedural knowledge. Students will be able to explain and discuss their thinking on how they solved a given problem. Students will be able to solve the problem in more than one way and compare methods.
