instructional routines
ENTERING THE CLASSROOM . We enter the classroom in a calm, quiet manner. Sharpen your pencil if necessary and take a seat. Remember: Once the door is closed, you must be in your seat and working. (That means having the necessary materials out on your desk.)
TARDINESS. You are expected to be in your seat when I close the door. If you come in late and do not have a pass, quietly sign the tardy sheet at the front of the room.
HOMEWORK. Homework, when assigned, will be due at the beginning of class. Have it out on your desk ready to be picked up.
ATTENTION SIGNAL. When I hold up my hand I will say, "Give me five." That means the entire class should be absolutely silent and still within 5 seconds.
ASKING QUESTIONS.LEAVING YOUR SEAT.GETTING HELP . Raise your hand and I will acknowledge you.
CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR. Your responsibilities in this class are to: be on time, be prepared, be productive. All team members are expected to be polite and respectful to one another---and that includes the teacher. No student will be allowed to disrupt the learning of his or her classmates.
MAKEUP WORK. When you are absent you are expected to make up any work you missed. On the day you return, check the appropriate folder for any missed work.
RESTROOM PASSES. You are expected to use the restroom between classes. No bathroom passes (or any passes) will be issued the first ten minutes of class. You are allowed two passes (of any kind) per nine weeks. Use them wisely.
END OF CLASS DISMISSAL. Two minutes before class ends, I will tell you to start getting packed up. We will straighten the room. Then, I will give you any last minute instructions and dismiss you.
