6. Classroom Procedures Bathroom Breaks Pencil Sharpening Speaking Out in Class Calling on Students Whole Group Responses Transitions Classroom Dismissal Teacher Instructions

7. Bathroom Breaks Only to be taken in emergencies. If the privilege is abused then it will be taken away. The school does not permit free time in the bathrooms. A ticket must be provided to use the bathroom. Do not write on any tickets until the raffle.

8. Pencil Sharpening Raise your hand to use the sharpener. Do not over sharpen your pencils. This is a waste of classroom materials. If you forget to bring a pencil you can buy one for a classroom ticket. Can be done during individual or group work activities.

9. Speaking Out in Class Raise your hand to speak out or make a comment in class. No talking while another student or the teacher is talking. We all must take our turns.

10. Calling on Students The teacher will call on the student that is sitting quietly with their hand up waiting to be called. No yelling to try to get the teacher’s attention.

11. Whole Group Responses Students will respond at this time with a thumbs up or thumbs down. Please do not call out at this time.

12. Transitions Students have one minute to talk between activities. Use this time to get where you need to be.

13. Classroom Dismissal The teacher dismisses the class not the bell. Students will be dismissed by row. You must clean up around your work area before you leave. Exit the room safely after you have been dismissed.

14. Teacher Instruction Never interrupt the teacher while he is speaking. The teacher will get your attention by using a bell. If the class does not respond immediately to the bell the class will lose class points.

24. Materials You Will Need 2 Glue Sticks Box of Pencils 2 Red Pens 2 Black Pens Scotch Tape Pencil Sharpener With Cover Scissors Color Pens or Pencils 3 Ring Binder White Lined Paper Flash drive and Floppy with case

25. What is a Flash Drive and why do I need it? Before we answer that let’s take a look at different types of portable memory.

26. Floppy Disk This type of memory carries 3 mega-bites of memory that can be stored on this small disk. It can be easily damaged which means that work you have completed can be lost. Not much can be stored on this especially “Power Point” presentations. These disks can be purchased for 20 for five dollars.

27. Flash Drive These can be plugged into any drive and are almost break proof. The standard is approximately 128 mega-bites. It will store everything including your pictures and music and does not require a burner. They range in price from $20-$75 dollars. This form of portable memory is highly recommended over the other suggestions.

28. To Answer the question why do I need a flash drive……. Flash drives will be used to store “Power Point” Presentations and all other electronic documents. All oral presentations will be on “Power Point”. All back assignments will be stored on disk just in case you lose them.

29. School Internet Site If you miss a lecture, all the “Power Point” lectures are posted on the Johnson Middle School website. You can visit it at: www.jms.warriors.com Click on teacher’s corner to find Mr. Schammann’s class.
