Wildcat Skills and Expectations

Thanks for being a shining example of the Washington Way!

This week students will be learning how to make a request and accept no as an answer.

Rationale

• More likely to get the answer you want
  
• To be respectful to others and the person you are asking
  
• To be safe so you do not do something that could harm you or others
  
• To be responsible by asking permission
  

• Eyes on the person

• Say “OK”

• Stay calm

• If you would like an explanation, in a calm voice ask, “May I ask why?”

• If you still disagree, in a calm voice ask, “Can we talk about it more later?”

Rationale

• School/teachers have a schedule they have to keep so your request might not work into the schedule.

• To stay safe (No, we can’t stand on our chairs)

• To be respectful (No, you can’t talk to your friends while others are working)

• To be responsible (No, you can’t call you mom to bring your book to you)
