Procedures/ Expectations • Enter the room QUIETLY and check the board as you get your choir folder/ mark your attendance. • Be seated in your assigned seat and begin bell work (Listening Journal) . • Participate in each activity fully and without disrupting. • Raise pointer finger high for restroom or water. • Raiser two fingers for tissue, throw away, or hand sanitizer (inside the room) • Raise all 5 for other questions. • Do not blurt out in class.
