Procedures There are many procedures that everyone will need to follow in this class. They will help make your life easier and will keep our classroom running smoothly.
Bell work/Entering Class • Each day there will be bell work, located on the front wipe board. -The procedure is to come into class quietly, (homeroom: move your popsicle stick), sit in your assigned seat, get out materials and immediately begin the bell work.
Bathroom • If you need to use the restroom please hold up this sign:
Bathroom • Please have your “Passport” part of your agenda filled out! Then, when I have seen this signal, I will nod. You can put a stamp on my signature or I will initial it. • You must sign the time you return in your agenda! NO EXCEPTIONS! • You must also sign on the “Bathroom Sign Out” sheet located by the entryway • Only two people, one boy and one girl, may ever be out using the restroom at a time. If both are gone, you must patiently wait until someone returns. • Please do not interrupt a lesson to use the restroom, unless it is an absolute emergency. Thank you!
Late Passes/ Tardies • If you enter the classroom after the bell rings, please DO NOT talk or disturb the class in any way. Follow these procedures: • Tardies • If you arrive to class after 8:45, I will mark you tardy. • This also means if you come to class late after lunch, you will be marked as tardy and I will sign your agenda. • Late Passes • If you are late to class and have a pass, please put it on my desk.
Late Work/ Missing Work • Late Work • Any work turned in after I collect it is considered late unless you were absent. • It is still your responsibility to turn the missing work into me the next day! • Once the concept has been tested or assessed, I will no longer accept the assignment as late. Instead, a zero will be given for the missing work. • You will also have a signature in your agenda. *Remember, you can ONLY have four signatures in your agenda if you would like to come for extra recess or the Quarter Party* I know you will have no signatures Make good choices!
Absent Work • If you are absent, first check the homework page online to see what you missed. • When you return to school, check the absent folders for any handouts you missed. The folders are labeled Monday-Friday. • Ask a friend/neighbor if there was anything else that you missed. • Then, if you have any questions, please come see me Please do the above FIRST!
Reading Corner • The Reading Corner is a place just for you! • You must respect the chairs, tables, posters and books at ALL times. Not doing so will result in the loss of using the Reading Corner. • The reading corner is a place for you to sit and read comfortably and quietly. • You may go to the reading corner when it is your turn when: • You SHOW ME you are finished with the day’s assignments • When it is a designated reading time/writing time • You may not go and sit in the reading corner during classroom instruction. • Only two students at a time are permitted in the reading corner.
Throwing Things Away/ Sharpening your pencil • Please do not get up to throw something away while I am teaching or someone is speaking in front of the class. • Please do not sharpen your pencil while I am teaching or while someone is speaking in class or speaking to the class. • You may do these things before class, after class or when the lesson is over and you are working on your work. You should always have an extra writing utensil just in case. • ABSOLUTELY NO “Basketball Shots” into the trashcan!
Borrowing Materials • Please ask me before you borrow any of my things. I have labeled everything to help you find things easier. • Please ALWAYS return all borrowed materials and put them back in their proper place. • Stealing and/or misusing any materials will result in the loss of using/borrowing any classroom materials for the rest of the year.
