Class Procedures Why do we have procedures? • Procedures are the way we do things. • To do things right, we have to follow procedures. For example: …to open your locker, you must follow a number sequence …to use your cellphone, you must push the correct buttons • To be successful in learning, you need to followsome simple procedures.
Class Procedures What are they?
Entering class • Make sure you have everything you need for the day • Enter class quietly. Put up electronics. (earbuds, iPod, cell phone) • Go directly to your assigned seat. Be in your seat when the bell rings. • Get ready for work. Pencil sharpened, paper & notebook ready.
Entering class • Pick up Interactive Notebook. • Answer the daily question on the left hand page of your interactive notebook. Page is numbered and dated. Write the question as part of the answer.
During Instructions:What am I supposed to be doing? • Listen to the teacher with full attention. Do not ask for a hall pass • Stay in your seat. • No pencil sharpening, talking or whispering. Listen for what you are to learn • Don’t write during instructions. Time later for note taking
Instructions:contd • Ask permission to speak by raising your hand • Ask questions related to the instructions or subject. Other kinds of questions can be handled later • Make sure you understand the concept, task or instructions. Can you explain it to someone else?
Instructions: • If you don’t understand, ask questions. Begin by stating what part you don’t understand. • Not understanding because you were not listening is not acceptable.
While you are working: • Stay on task. No earbuds/headphones unless I have instructed you to use them. No talking across the room. • Make sure you read or listen to directions about your work. • If you don’t understand, ask for help from those at your table. If no one understands, raise your hand to ask teacher to come to table to explain
Working: • If asked for help, be polite, kind and offer your best effort. • Respect each other and be friendly. For 90 days, we are a team. We all need to work together to get the job done. • Talking should be no louder than a whisper.(6” voices) • Stay in your seat unless you have asked permission (raise hand to ask teacher) or it is part of your job description • Use time wisely. Put forth best effort to finish quality work on time.
When the teacher raises her hand • Stop what you are doing. • Face the teacher and wait silently • Notify classmates who haven’t noticed teacher’s raised hand • No talking or whispering. All your attention should be on the teacher
Dismissal • Clean your work area. Trash goes into the trashcan or recycling bin. • Pass IN & folder to the right. • Wait for Ms Baxter to dismiss you. The bell does not dismiss you. • After you are given permission to leave, push your chair in and leave quietly.
Hall Passes • You will receive a ticket for 6 passes for the semester. Once they are gone, you get no more. Use of a pass after the 6 results in detention. • No ticket, no pass. • You may not use someone else’s pass • Do not ask for a hall pass while I am giving instructions or right after the tardy bell (use time between classes)
If you are absent • Get assignments from tablemates and check the folder for handouts. Do the work at home. • If you missed a test, you have 3 days to make it up for excused absences. Some tests may have to be made up during Saturday school. See Ms Baxter • Work done during unexcused absences receive a zero. • If you were here when work was assigned, it is due on that date.
Computer Use • You must have permission to turn on or use a computer • During computer time, if you are on an off-task site, you will lose your computer privileges for 1 or more days. No listening to music unless I give you permission • Follow Board policy.
