CLASSROOM PROCEDURES Mr. Cicek’s Classroom Dove Science Academy Tulsa, Oklamona

FOREWORD • Welcome to Mr. Cicek’s class. • I am here to teach; you are here to learn. I will do my job; you will do yours, and we will together use this year wisely and beneficially. • Positive attitude is the key of success. Let’s keep it all the time.

WHY DO WE HAVE PROCEDURES? • A procedure is the way that we do things. • To do things right, we have to follow some simple procedures, for example: • To open your locker, you have to select your combination as directed by the lock manufacturer. • To place a call on your phone, you need to enter the number in the right order. • So, to be successful in learning, you need to follow some simple procedures.

ENTRANCE • Make sure you have all necessary materials for the class. • Enter the classroom quietly. • Go directly to your assigned seat. • Get ready for your work.

RIGHT AFTER THE BELL RINGS • Immediately start the bellwork that will be written on the board. • Do the bellwork in your journal. • When you finish, wait quietly for the next direction.

DURING INSTRUCTION • Listen to the teacher with full attention. • No pencil sharpening, talking, or whispering. • Don’t write anything during instruction. You will be given time for taking notes. • Ask permission to speak by raising your hand. • Ask questions related to the subject. Other questions which are not related to the subject can be asked after instruction. • After instruction, make sure you understand the concept. If not, ask questions by mentioning which part you didn’t understand.

WHILE YOU ARE WORKING • Make sure you read or listen to the directions about your work and understand them. • If you didn’t understand, ask help from other students sitting around you. If they also don’t understand, ask to the teacher to explain it. • If you are asked to help, be polite and kind and offer your best. • Talking to each other should be no louder than a whisper. The person sitting on the other side of the room should not be interrupted by your noise. • Respect each other and be friendly. • Use your time wisely. Put forth your best effort to finish your work on time.

KEEPING YOUR JOURNAL • You should have a science journal which will be used for only your science class. (A composition notebook is recommended.) • Use pen or pencil to write in your journal. Using two different colors, one for the title and a different one for the body of the text, will make your journal look better and more organized. • The first page should be the title page. Write your full name, section, and school name on it. • Number the pages in the right bottom corner. • Always write the title with capital letters. • Each day, put the date first. • Keep your journal clean and organized. • Your journal will be collected and checked from time to time. Turn it in on time when you are asked. • Take good care of your journal. Do not lose it.

IF THE TEACHER RAISES HIS HAND • Stop whatever you are doing at that moment. • Face the teacher and wait silently. • Notify any classmates who haven’t noticed that the teacher has raised his hand. • No talking or whispering. All of your attention should be given to the teacher.

AFTER YOU ARE DONE • Check your work and the directions one more time to see if you missed anything or did something incorrectly. • If the assignment is to be turned in, do so. • Start your reading session. (Read your book, magazine, etc.)

DISMISSAL • Clean your work area and take all garbage to the trash can. • Wait for Mr. Cicek to dismiss you. The ring of the bell does not dismiss you. • After you get permission to leave, push in your chair and leave quietly. • If it is the last period of the day, stack the chairs by the back wall.
