Our Class Motto: “Intelligence plus character, is the true goal of education.” We must all work together in order to accomplish goals in this classroom. Teacher + Students + Parents=SUCCESS!!

The Importance of Procedures::

The Importance of Procedures: Procedures are the way an individual does things in order to complete a task. For example: In order to put a game system together, you must follow the steps given to you. To be successful in learning, you must follow directions and procedures!

Entering the Classroom:

Entering the Classroom Enter the classroom quietly & make sure you bring all required materials EVERYDAY! Sharpen pencils and place Homework in “Docking Station.” Go directly to your assigned seat. Immediately begin working on “Daily Bell Ringer Activity.” After tardy bell rings, each student should be in the classroom. NO EXCEPTIONS!

During Instruction:

During Instruction After the completion of your “Daily Bell Ringer Activity,” remain quiet at your assigned seat. No pencil sharpening, talking, or whispering. Your FULL attention is expected during instructional time! Ask permission to speak by raising your hand, and wait for me to acknowledge you. All questions or concerns must be related to the topic being discussed. NO EXCEPTIONS!

During Classwork:

During Classwork Carefully listen to directions given to you and make sure you understand them. Raise your hand and wait to be called upon if there is anything you do not understand. All talking should be limited to asking a classmate a question about your assignment only! Respect your fellow classmates and work quietly. Please use your time wisely. Do your very best on your assignments!

If The Teacher Raises Her Hand:

If The Teacher Raises Her Hand ALL talking must cease & each student should wait on the teacher to give directions. I will be using a Flag Signal in my classroom: Flag Signals Include the following: Green —Everyone is following directions. Yellow —Warning, students need to stop talking & follow directions! NO TALKING! Red— Extra homework/assignment! NO EXCEPTIONS!

Dismissal:

Dismissal Five minutes before the end of class, students will clean up their work area, pack their belongings, and take all garbage to the trash can. Wait for Ms. Harmon to dismiss the class. The bell DOES NOT dismiss you! After you get permission to leave the class, make sure you push your chairs in and exit the classroom quietly. Thank you for your cooperation!
